Abstract
Using deep learning to advance personalized healthcare requires data about patients to be collected and aggregated from disparate sources that often span institutions and geographies. Researchers regularly come face-to-face with legitimate security and privacy policies that constrain access to these data. In this work, we present a vision for privacy-preserving federated neural network architectures that permit data to remain at a custodian's institution while enabling the data to be discovered and used in neural network modeling. Using a diabetes dataset, we demonstrate that accuracy and processing efficiencies using federated deep learning architectures are equivalent to the models built on centralized datasets.
