• Abstract summary: Birth Apxia (BA) is a severe condition characterized by insufficient supply of oxygen to a newborn during the delivery. There has been a decline in neonatal deaths over the past two decades, but sub-Saharan Africa continues to experience the highest under-five mortality rates. We have developed a user-friendly and cost-effective mobile application embedding the FL pipeline for early detection of BA.

• Abstract: Birth Apshyxia (BA) is a severe condition characterized by insufficient supply of oxygen to a newborn during the delivery. BA is one of the primary causes of neonatal death in the world. Although there has been a decline in neonatal deaths over the past two decades, the developing world, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, continues to experience the highest under-five (<5) mortality rates. While evidence-based methods are commonly used to detect BA in African healthcare settings, they can be subject to physician errors or delays in diagnosis, preventing timely interventions. Centralized Machine Learning (ML) methods demonstrated good performance in early detection of BA but require sensitive health data to leave their premises before training, which does not guarantee privacy and security. Healthcare institutions are therefore reluctant to adopt such solutions in Africa. To address this challenge, we suggest a federated learning (FL)-based software architecture, a distributed learning method that prioritizes privacy and security by design. We have developed a user-friendly and cost-effective mobile application embedding the FL pipeline for early detection of BA. Our Federated SVM model outperformed centralized SVM pipelines and Neural Networks (NN)-based methods in the existing literature

  Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are currently the leading cause of death worldwide, highlighting the critical need for early diagnosis and treatment. Machine learning (ML) methods can help diagnose CVDs early, but their performance relies on access to substantial data with high quality. This paper presents the first real-world FL benchmark for cardiovascular disease detection, named FedCVD.

  Machine learning holds great promise for improving healthcare, but it is critical to ensure that its use will not propagate or amplify health disparities. One potential driver of algorithmic unfairness, shortcut learning, arises when ML models base predictions on improper correlations in the training data. Using multi-task learning, we propose the first method to assess and mitigate shortcut learning as a part of the fairness assessment of clinical ML systems.

  Federated learning (FL) allows the collaborative training of AI models without needing to share raw data. Recent works on the inversion of deep neural networks from model gradients raised concerns about the security of FL in preventing the leakage of training data. In this work, we show that these attacks presented in the literature are impractical in real FL use-cases and provide a new baseline attack.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
