About Program:
This workshop explores how Federated Learning (FL) is transforming collaborative medical AI by enabling multiple hospitals and research centers to train shared diagnostic models without exchanging sensitive patient data. Participants will gain a deep understanding of privacy-preserving machine learning frameworks designed for multi-center medical imaging applications such as radiology, pathology, and oncology diagnostics.
As healthcare data is highly regulated and distributed across institutions, federated approaches provide a secure and compliant pathway to build robust, generalizable AI models while maintaining data confidentiality. This program bridges theory and practical implementation, focusing on real-world clinical challenges.
Aim: The aim of this workshop is to equip participants with the conceptual understanding and practical skills required to design and implement privacy-preserving, multi-center AI models for medical image diagnostics using Federated Learning.
Program Objectives:
-
Learn Federated Learning fundamentals and its role in multi-center healthcare AI.
-
Understand data privacy and regulations (HIPAA, GDPR).
-
Analyze multi-center medical imaging challenges (non-IID, domain shift, heterogeneity).
-
Explore federated optimization (FedAvg, FedProx, secure aggregation).
-
Implement federated pipelines for medical imaging using Python frameworks.
-
Evaluate model performance, fairness, and robustness.
-
Design secure, scalable deployment strategies for hospitals.
-
Review real-world FL case studies in radiology, pathology, and oncology.
