Abstract The isolation of healthcare data among worldwide hospitals and institutes forms barriers for fully realizing the data-hungry artificial intelligence (AI) models promises in renewing medical services. To overcome this, privacy-preserving distributed learning frameworks, represented by swarm learning and federated learning, have been investigated recently with the sensitive healthcare data retaining in its local premises. However, existing frameworks use a one-size-fits-all mode that tunes one model for all healthcare situations, which could hardly fit the usually diverse disease prediction in practice. This work introduces the idea of ensemble learning into privacy-preserving distributed learning and presents the More >

Abstract Multimodal deep learning has emerged as a key paradigm in contemporary medical diagnostics, advancing precision medicine by enabling integration and learning from diverse data sources. The exponential growth of high-dimensional healthcare data, encompassing genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics profiles, as well as radiological imaging and histopathological slides, makes this approach increasingly important because, when examined separately, these data sources only offer a fragmented picture of intricate disease processes. Multimodal deep learning leverages the complementary properties of multiple data modalities to enable more accurate prognostic modeling, more robust disease characterization, and improved treatment decision-making.

Abstract In numerous real-world healthcare applications, handling incomplete medical data poses significant challenges for missing value imputation and subsequent clustering or classification tasks. Traditional approaches often rely on statistical methods for imputation, which may yield suboptimal results and be computationally intensive. This paper aims to integrate imputation and clustering techniques to enhance the classification of incomplete medical data with improved accuracy. Conventional classification methods are ill-suited for incomplete medical data. To enhance efficiency without compromising accuracy, this paper introduces a novel approach that combines imputation and clustering for the classification of incomplete data. Initially, the linear More >

Abstract A new era of data access and management has begun with the use of cloud computing in the healthcare industry. Despite the efficiency and scalability that the cloud provides, the security of private patient data is still a major concern. Encryption, network security, and adherence to data protection laws are key to ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of healthcare data in the cloud. The computational overhead of encryption technologies could lead to delays in data access and processing rates. To address these challenges, we introduced the Enhanced Parallel Multi-Key Encryption Algorithm (EPM-KEA), aiming to bolster… More >

Abstract The healthcare data requires accurate disease detection analysis, real-time monitoring, and advancements to ensure proper treatment for patients. Consequently, Machine Learning methods are widely utilized in Smart Healthcare Systems (SHS) to extract valuable features from heterogeneous and high-dimensional healthcare data for predicting various diseases and monitoring patient activities. These methods are employed across different domains that are susceptible to adversarial attacks, necessitating careful consideration. Hence, this paper proposes a crossover-based Multilayer Perceptron (CMLP) model. The collected samples are pre-processed and fed into the crossover-based multilayer perceptron neural network to detect adversarial attacks on the medical… More >

Abstract The development of information technology allows the collaborative business process to be run across multiple enterprises in a larger market environment. However, while collaborative business expands the realm of businesses, it also causes various hazards in collaborative Interaction, such as data falsification, inconstancy, and misuse. To solve these issues, a blockchain-based collaborative business modeling approach was proposed and analyzed. However, the existing studies lack the blockchain risk problem-solving specification, and there is no verification technique to examine the process. Consequently, it is difficult to confirm the appropriateness of the approach. Thus, here, we propose and… More >
