Predicting Heart Diseases in IoT-Based Electronic Health Records: A Federated Learning Approach

Abstract

Predicting heart diseases is important for finding them early and treating them effectively. We present a shared learning method for predicting heart diseases using IoT-based electronic health records (EHRs) in this work. Federated learning lets many autonomous IoT devices work together to train a model, while protecting the safety and security of the data. Proposed method uses the fact that IoT devices are spread out to train a global model for predicting heart disease without putting private EHR data in one place. With the EHR data, each IoT device learns a model locally and only sends model changes to a central computer. The computer takes all of these changes and improves the world model. This model is then sent back to the IoT devices to be improved even more. This looping process makes sure that the world model keeps getting better while keeping data private. The proposed method tested by using a real-world collection of EHRs from IoT devices in trials. We looked at how well our shared learning method worked compared to more standard centralized learning methods. Our results show that the pooled learning method makes predictions that are as good as or better than the other methods while protecting data privacy. It also looked at how different IoT device properties, like the amount of data they send and receive and their processing power, affect the shared learning process. It is discovered that devices with more processing power and more data add more to the improvement of the global model. This shows how important it is to choose the right devices in shared learning systems. The paper study shows that pooled learning can be used to predict heart diseases in IoT-based EHRs and that it works well. Our method uses the ability of IoT devices to work together to make accurate predictions while protecting data privacy. This makes it suitable for use in real-life healthcare situations.
