Federated Convolutional Neural Networks for Predictive Analysis of Traumatic Brain Injury: Advancements in Decentralized Health Monitoring

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern, often leading to long-term disabilities and cognitive impairments. Accurate and timely diagnosis of TBI is crucial for effective treatment and management. In this paper, we propose a novel federated convolutional neural network (FedCNN) framework for predictive analysis of TBI in decentralized health monitoring. The framework is implemented in Python, leveraging three diverse datasets: CQ500, RSNA, and CENTER-TBI, each containing annotated brain CT images associated with TBI. The methodology encompasses data preprocessing, feature extraction using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), feature selection employing the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), and classification using FedCNN. Our approach achieves superior performance compared to existing methods such as DANN, RF and DT, and LSTM, with an accuracy of 99.2%, surpassing other approaches by 1.6%. The FedCNN framework offers decentralized privacy-preserving training across individual networks while sharing model parameters with a central server, ensuring data privacy and decentralization in health monitoring. Evaluation metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in accurately classifying normal and abnormal brain CT images associated with TBI. The ROC analysis further validates the discriminative ability of the FedCNN framework, highlighting its potential as an advanced tool for TBI diagnosis. Our study contributes to the field of decentralized health monitoring by providing a reliable and efficient approach for TBI management, offering significant advancements in patient care and healthcare management. Future research could explore extending the FedCNN framework to incorporate additional modalities and datasets, as well as integrating advanced deep learning architectures and optimization algorithms to further improve performance and scalability in healthcare applications.
