[Bo Wang @BoWang87]

One of the biggest challenges in #AI and #healthcare is how to collaboratively train large AI models from multiple hospitals without compromising patient privacy?

Thrilled to introduce our new paper, DeCaPH, which is now officially published in @TheLancet @eBioMedicine!

**Decentralised, Collaborative, and Privacy-preserving Machine Learning for Multi-Hospital Data**

What does DeCaPH do?
🔒 Privacy-preserving collaborative ML: Train together without sharing sensitive data.
🌐 Decentralization: No central server is needed, reducing privacy risks.
🚫 Robust against privacy attacks: Designed for healthcare's unique privacy needs.

**Highlights**
--- Tailored for healthcare setting: Designed specifically for hospitals, DeCaPH caters to their unique threat models and privacy requirements, achieving the optimal utility-privacy trade-off.
--- Potential Real-world Impact: We conducted comprehensive evaluations on three cross-silo datasets for three distinct tasks: clinical outcome prediction from electronic health records, cell classification with single-cell RNA transcriptomics, and pathology identification using chest radiology images.
--- Robust to privacy attacks: Our evaluations show that models trained with DeCaPH are more resilient against privacy attacks than those without privacy protection.

Kudos to Emmy Fang (@EmmyFangCY), who is an amazing PhD student cosupervised by me and @NicolasPapernot , for her incredible leadership in this project!
