Explainable Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Diabetes Prediction

Combining privacy and explainability to enable secure, trustworthy AI in healthcare.

Overview

This research introduces a federated learning framework for diabetes prediction, allowing multiple institutions to collaborate without sharing sensitive patient data.

?The Challenge

Healthcare data is highly sensitive, making centralised AI training difficult. At the same time, many models lack transparency, reducing trust among clinicians and organisations.

Our Solution

We developed a federated learning system with integrated explainability, enabling distributed model training while preserving data privacy and providing interpretable predictions.

Key Features

Privacy-preserving federated training
No raw data sharing between institutions
Explainable predictions using feature insights
Scalable across multiple data sources
Secure and compliant AI framework
