Item Federated Learning for Wearable Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Sachin, D.N.; Annappa, B.; Ambesenge, S.Computing devices that can identify various human behaviors or motions may be used to aid individuals in multiple contexts, including sports, healthcare, and interactions between humans and robots. Data readily accessible for this purpose may be collected from smartphones and wearable devices used daily. Therefore, efforts are made to classify real-time activity data effectively utilizing various machine learning models. However, current methods for human activity recognition do not sufficiently consider user data privacy. To mitigate privacy issues, federated learning can be employed to build generic activity classification model by aggregating a locally trained model at a user-edge device. This paper adopted a deep-learning neural network model called the transformer for motion signal time-series analysis. It uses the attention mechanism to provide context for each point in the time series. It also compares federated learning’s performance to centralized learning. Experimental results show that federated learning outperformed centralized training without com- promising user data privacy, with an accuracy of 96.87%. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item FedRH: Federated Learning Based Remote Healthcare(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Sachin, D.N.; Annappa, B.; Ambesenge, S.More and more people are developing chronic illnesses, which require regular visits to the hospital for treatment and monitoring. Due to the advancements in wearable computing technology, there is a growing interest in remote health monitoring worldwide. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices allow users to access their health data. Recent developments in smart healthcare have shown that machine learning model training using vast amounts of healthcare data has been remarkably successful. However, remote healthcare is facing a significant challenge as user data is stored in isolated silos, thus making data aggregation impractical while ensuring data privacy and security. To overcome this challenge, this paper presents FedRH, a federated learning framework for remote healthcare. FedRH solves the issue of data isolation through a cloud-edge-based computing architecture and FL, providing personalized healthcare without sacrificing privacy and security. Experiments show that FedRH achieves a greater accuracy of 5.6% compared to conventional approaches. FedRH is a flexible and versatile tool that can be applied to various healthcare applications, making it an ideal choice for many use cases. © 2023 IEEE.
