In his talk titled “Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Medical Data Analysis“, he discussed various applications and success criteria for applying federated learning in a cross-hospital setting for diseases such as rare muscular diseases, diabetes, or cicle-cell disease. The talk highlighted the need for a holistic solution, starting from data harmonisation over cohort selection to the actual learning, and stresses to consider the whole life cycle of the federated learning, including also model distribution and use.
