Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed healthcare institutions without centralising sensitive patient data. However, real-world healthcare federations are often characterised not only by non-IID data, but also by heterogeneous clinical objectives and partially overlapping feature spaces.
arXiv:2607. 19403v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Validating federated learning frameworks on real clinical data is an essential step between proof-of-concept demonstrations in controlled synthetic environments and deployment in real multicenter healthcare settings.

arXiv:2606. 23871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Survival analysis is central to clinical decision-making, yet reliable time-to-event models require large, diverse cohorts that are rarely available at a single institution, while privacy regulations restrict the centralization of patient data.

arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.

FedDRAW introduces a new server‑side aggregation technique for federated learning called Federated Dual Reputation Annealing Weighting. It blends a data‑size prior with cosine similarity between client and global model parameters, using two annealing schedules to shift weight from size to similarity and to gradually relax selectivity. Experiments on 12 simulated client partitions of CheXpert and ChestMNIST datasets show FedDRAW outperforms seven federated baselines in AUC and geometric mean of sensitivity and specificity, with statistically significant results.

OmniMed‑FL is a multimodal federated learning framework that fuses chest radiographs and synthetic patient notes to classify five clinical conditions. The study benchmarks eight fusion strategies, three initializations, and four missing‑text imputation rules across 3–20 hospital clients under non‑IID Dirichlet partitioning, showing that federated approaches (FedAvg, FedProx, SCAFFOLD‑AdamW) outperform local‑only training. Multimodal fusion consistently improves performance, achieving macro‑F1 scores up to 0.956 on the synthetic corpus and 0.906 on the radiograph corpus.

arXiv:2505. 22108v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background: Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training of clinical AI models without centralizing patient data, but adoption is limited by privacy concerns, heterogeneous institutional compliance, and resource disparities; standard differential privacy (DP) applies uniform noise to all clients, penalizing well-compliant or under-resourced institutions.
