Privacy-enhanced skin disease classification: integrating federated learning in an IoT-enabled edge computing by Nada Alasbali, Jawad Ahmad, Ali Akbar Siddique, Oumaima Saidani, Alanoud Al Mazroa, Asif Raza, Rahmat Ullah, Muhammad Shahbaz Khan

“…IntroductionThe accurate and timely diagnosis of skin diseases is a critical concern, as many skin diseases exhibit similar symptoms in the early stages. Most existing automated detection/classification approaches that utilize machine learning or deep learning poses privacy issues, as they involve centralized computing and require local storage for data training.MethodsKeeping the privacy of sensitive patient data as a primary objective, in addition to ensuring accuracy and efficiency, this paper presents an algorithm that integrates Federated learning techniques into an IoT-based edge-computing environment. …”
