Resilience in Federated Learning-Based IoMT Applications

Jul 2026 · International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering · 0 citations

Abstract

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) applications require collaborative learning across healthcare institutions while ensuring patient data privacy. Traditional centralized learning approaches require sharing sensitive medical records, increasing privacy and security risks. Federated Learning (FL) enables distributed model training by exchanging model parameters instead of raw data, but its performance is affected by client dropouts and communication failures. This paper proposes a Resilience-Enhanced Federated Learning Framework for IoMT applications that improves the reliability of collaborative learning under unstable network conditions. The framework incorporates Federated Averaging (FedAvg), resilient aggregation using historical model updates with staleness decay, and quantized model updates to reduce communication overhead. The proposed model was evaluated using a heart disease dataset distributed across multiple healthcare clients. Experimental results demonstrate that the framework achieves 95.72% accuracy while maintaining stable model convergence during client failures. The proposed approach provides a secure, privacypreserving, and fault-tolerant solution for distributed healthcare applications.

Federated Anomaly Detection for IoMT Networks: Privacy‐Preserving Design, Lightweight Implementation, and Runtime Evaluation

The rapid integration of Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare domain has led to the emergence of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), which introduces significant benefits in patient monitoring and real‐time medical services. However, IoMT networks are inherently vulnerable due to resource constraints, heterogeneous devices, and sensitivity of medical data. In this paper, we propose a novel federated learning‐based anomaly detection system (Fed‐ADS) designed specifically for IoMT networks. Our system leverages local training of lightweight ML models on resource‐constrained IoMT devices and employs secure model aggregation at the gateway to preserve privacy and avoid centralized data collection. To address real‐world challenges, we implement and evaluate our system on a real IoMT testbed using Raspberry Pi devices under various attack scenarios. Furthermore, we examine the impact of privacy‐preserving techniques such as differential privacy on detection accuracy and system overhead. The runtime evaluation shows that our approach achieves high detection accuracy (over 94%) with minimal CPU and memory usage (under 3%), making it suitable for practical deployment in medical environments.

A Federated Deep Learning Paradigm for Privacy-Preserving Cloud Applications

Deep learning is becoming popular in cloud applications and serves to provide intelligent services; data aggregation in a central location makes sensitive information vulnerable to privacy breaches, regulatory infractions, and adversarial manipulation. All modern privacy mechanisms offer partial protection and frequently lack accuracy, scalability, or practicality in their operations. To overcome these limitations, a federated deep learning model is formulated so that secure joint learning can occur without transferring raw data across the domains of ownership. The framework incorporates training that is decentralized, training that uses differential privacy, training that uses secure aggregation, training that uses encrypted communication, and training that uses trust-based anomaly defense to defend against leakage, poisoning, and inference attacks. It also supports heterogeneous and highly non-IID datasets using adaptive coordination and stability-relevant participation regulation and meets emerging data protection requirements. The methods of resource-conscious orchestration and the optimization of communication eliminate overhead without obstructing the effectiveness of learning. The paradigm has therefore formed a privacy-by-design intelligent cloud ecosystem which ensures confidentiality, maintains performance, enhances robustness, and ensures responsible AI implementation in privacy-related sectors of healthcare, finance, governance, and smart infrastructure.
