description Abstract Deep learning has shown great promise in predicting Atrial Fibrillation using ECG signals and other vital signs. However, a major hurdle lies in the privacy concerns surrounding these datasets, which often contain sensitive patient information. Balancing accurate AFib prediction with robust user privacy remains a critical challenge to address. We suggest Federated Learning , a privacy-preserving machine learning technique, to address this privacy barrier. Our approach makes use of FL by presenting Fed-CL, a advanced method that combines Long Short-Term Memory networks and Convolutional Neural Networks to accurately predict AFib. In addition, the article explores the importance of analysing mean heart rate variability to differentiate between healthy and abnormal heart rhythms. This combined approach within the proposed system aims to equip healthcare professionals with timely alerts and valuable insights. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate early detection of AFib risk and enable preventive care for susceptible individuals.
