Putting their AI algorithms on special servers within hospitals for “federated learning” could keep privacy standards high while letting researchers unravel new ways to detect and treat diseases.
“The use of AI is just exploding in all facets of life,” said Ronald M. Summers of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Maryland, who uses the method in his radiology research.
Sending patient information outside of a hospital’s firewall is a big risk, so getting permission can be a long and legally complicated process.
Typically, doctors first identify eligible patients for a study, select any clinical data they need for training, confirm its accuracy, and then organize it on a local database.
Once the software receives instructions from the researchers, it can work its AI magic, training itself with the hospital’s local data to find specific disease trends.
It also means machine/AI learning can reach its full potential by training on real-world data so researchers get less biased results that are more likely to be sensitive to niche diseases.
