Abstract

Personal health data collected via wearable devices can be used for sharing and utilization to provide smart healthcare services. Since personal health data involves sensitive information, it is necessary to require a secure way to manage and use data with the consent of each individual. To integrate and share health data securely, many frameworks using federated learning and blockchain-based system have been proposed. However, the issues of ensuring data ownership and enhancing privacy protection remain to be solved. In this paper, we propose a trustworthy system for health data integration and sharing enabled by decentralized federated learning. We describe the major functions and features, including health data integration, doubling data ownership, data analysis via decentralized federated learning, and incentive mechanisms. We further introduce the experiment and assume two application scenarios for sharing and utilization of personal health data and visualization feedback to users. Various types of health data are collected and integrated into the system with decentralized data analysis while sharing results and models and reducing data transmission for privacy-preserving. The proposed system can be expected to provide an effective way to integrate and analyze personal health data for personalized smart healthcare.
