V. Conclusion The classification of clinical events using vital signs data
is a crucial task in healthcare, as it allows for early detection
and management of various medical conditions. Our study
employed Federated Learning to classify clinical events
using vital signs data, utilizing datasets from multiple clients
of X hospital, employing various machine learning
regression models, such as Random Forest Regression,
XGBoost Regression, and Logistic Regression. Our use of
Flower Federated Learning (FL) offered several advantages
for clinic event classification, including privacy-preserving
capabilities, enabling collaboration between multiple parties
to train machine learning models, while safeguarding the
privacy of each party's data. This is due to the fact that each
party is only required to share encrypted model updates with
other parties, rather than sharing raw data. Furthermore,
Flower FL is designed to scale to a large number of
participants, making it particularly suitable for clinic event
classification problems where multiple hospitals or clinics
may have data to contribute. By combining data and insights
from multiple parties, Flower FL can help to improve the
performance of the machine learning model for clinic event
classification. This is because the model can leverage the
combined data and insights from various sources. By
aggregating model updates from multiple parties, Flower FL
can help make machine learning models for clinic event
classification more robust and less susceptible to overfitting
to a single party's data.
Overall, our study demonstrated that the use of Flower FL
for clinic event classification with machine learning
classification can significantly improve the performance and
robustness of the model while preserving the privacy of each
