FedPandemic: A Cross-Device Federated Learning Approach Towards Elementary Prognosis of Diseases During a Pandemic

The amount of data, manpower and capital required to understand, evaluate and agree on a group of symptoms for the elementary prognosis of pandemic diseases is enormous. In this paper, we present FedPandemic, a novel noise implementation algorithm integrated with cross-device Federated learning for Elementary symptom prognosis during a pandemic, taking COVID-19 as a case study. Our results display consistency and enhance robustness in recovering the common symptoms displayed by the disease, paving a faster and cheaper path towards symptom retrieval while also preserving the privacy of patients’ symptoms via Federated learning.
