About This Course

“Federated Learning for Medical AI” is a specialized, interdisciplinary training program designed to address one of the most critical challenges in healthcare AI: using data securely across multiple hospitals, labs, and clinics. With federated learning, sensitive medical data never leaves its source—AI models are trained collaboratively while ensuring patient privacy and regulatory compliance. This course teaches how to architect FL systems for clinical prediction, medical imaging, diagnostics, and real-world health data modeling.

Aim

To provide participants with the theoretical understanding and practical skills to design, deploy, and evaluate federated learning (FL) systems for medical and healthcare AI applications, enabling privacy-preserving collaboration across institutions.

Program Objectives

  • To introduce the principles and architectures of federated learning

  • To explore privacy-preserving AI systems in the context of medical data

  • To bridge the gap between AI capabilities and regulatory frameworks

  • To develop the ability to deploy federated AI systems in clinical settings

★★★★★
AI and Ethics: Governance and Regulation

the workshop was very good, thank you very much

Sandra Wingender
★★★★★
The Green NanoSynth Workshop: Sustainable Synthesis of NiO Nanoparticles and Renewable Hydrogen Production from Bioethanol

Though he explained all things nicely, my suggestion is to include some more examples related to hydrogen as fuel, and the necessary action required for its safety and wide use.

★★★★★
Prediction of Protein Structure Using AlphaFold: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Program

is important improve the video quality and integrate with subtitles

Antonio Mauceri
★★★★★
Prediction of Protein Structure Using AlphaFold: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Program

Teaching style and slides are very old technology, low resolution. There are many new, easy to use tools, why still use very old books to show protein structures and use the paint to draw neural networks etc.
