Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that has emerged as the predominant catalyst for escalating mortality rates worldwide. In the pursuit of the prevention and prediction of pneumonia, this work employs the development of an advanced deep-learning model by using a federated learning framework. The deep learning models rely on the utilization of a centralized system for disease prediction on the medical imaging data and pose risks of data breaches and exploitation; however, federated learning is a decentralized architecture which significantly reduces data privacy concerns.
