Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease has become a major concern in the healthcare domain as it is growing rapidly. Much research has been conducted to detect it from MRI images through various deep learning approaches.However, the problems of the availability of medical data and preserving the privacy of patients still exists. To mitigate this issue in Alzheimer’s disease detection, we implement the federated approach, which is found to be more efficient, robust, and consistent compared with the conventional approach. For this, we need deep excavation on various orientations of MRI images and transfer learning architectures. Then, we utilize two publicly available datasets (OASIS and ADNI) and design various cases to evaluate the performance of the federated approach. The federated approach achieves better accuracy and sensitivity compared with the conventional approaches in most of the cases. Moreover, the robustness of the proposed approach is also found to be better than the conventional approach. In our federated approach, MobileNet, a low-cost transfer learning architecture, achieves the highest 95.24%, 81.94%, and 83.97% accuracy in the OASIS, ADNI, and merged (ADNI + OASIS) test sets, which is much higher than the achieved performance in the conventional approach. Furthermore, in the proposed approach, only the weights of the model are shared, which keeps the original MRI images in their respective hospital or institutions, preserving privacy in the healthcare domain.
