Abstract: Fall detection is a critical task in healthcare, particularly for elderly people. Timely fall detection and treatment can prevent severe injuries. Sensor-based activity data can be used to detect fall. However, this data are highly sensitive and raises significant privacy concerns. Existing privacy approaches apply uniform noise across all training samples, which affects the prediction performance. To address this limitation, we propose a Class-Aware Adaptive Differential Privacy (CA-ADP) framework integrated with a hybrid 3D Convolutional Neural Network and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (3D CNN-BiLSTM) architecture. The CA-ADP mechanism dynamically adjusts the magnitude of noise added to gradients based on the class composition of each mini-batch. This process ensures privacy while mitigates performance degradation. We formally analyze the $(ε,δ)$-Differential Privacy guarantee and provide a privacy-utility trade-off analysis. The proposed method is evaluated on three public benchmark datasets, namely SisFall, UP-Fall, and MobiAct. The experimental results show that the proposed privacy model achieves improvements of 3.3\%, 8.5\%, and 7.5\% over the conventional privacy-based model in terms of F-score for the SisFall, UP-Fall, and MobiAct datasets, respectively. Comparisons with prior studies show that the CA-AD based framework achieves competitive performance and provides formal privacy guarantees, which are largely overlooked in existing studies. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests confirm that the proposed mechanism consistently outperforms conventional differential privacy. Those results establish the proposed CA-ADP framework as an effective approach to privacy-preserving fall detection in real-world healthcare settings.

RDP-GAN: A R\'enyi-Differential Privacy based Generative Adversarial Network [75.81653258081435]
Generative adversarial network (GAN) has attracted increasing attention recently owing to its impressive ability to generate realistic samples with high privacy protection. However, when GANs are applied on sensitive or private training examples, such as medical or financial records, it is still probable to divulge individuals' sensitive and private information. We propose a R'enyi-differentially private-GAN (RDP-GAN), which achieves differential privacy (DP) in a GAN by carefully adding random noises on the value of the loss function during training.
