Federated learning, a mechanism of training a shared global model with a central server while keeping all the sensitive data in local institutions where the data belong, provides great promise to connect the fragmented healthcare data sources with privacy-preservation. For both provider (e.g., building a model for predicting the hospital readmission risk with patient Electronic Health Records (EHR) [71] ) and consumer (patient)-based applications (e.g., screening atrial fibrillation with electrocardiograms captured by smartwatch [79] ), the sensitive patient data can stay either in local institutions or with individual consumers without going out during the federated model learning process, which effectively protects the patient privacy. Federated learning is a problem of training a high-quality shared global model with a central server from decentralized data scattered among large number of different clients (Fig. 1) . ./cache/cord-035388-n9hza6vm.txt ./txt/cord-035388-n9hza6vm.txt
