DLFi for Healthcare

Protecting Patient Privacy in Healthcare with Secure Federated Learning

Hall 2, booth B16, Innovationsmarkt Berlin-Brandenburg Pavilion & Hall 15, booth H13, 5G and Industrial Wireless Arena

We present the use of Secure Federated Learning for collaborative training of ML models for healthcare applications. Our live demonstration will show the training an Alzheimer’s Disease Detection model using Fraunhofer HHI’s Distributed Learning Framework (DLFi). Unlike traditional ML approaches that centralize data, potentially compromising patient privacy, DLFi establishes a remote training environment where data doesn't need to be transferred, ensuring confidentiality while enabling ML model.

5G OpenLab
