Federated learning can be used to train medical AI models on sensitive personal data while preserving important privacy properties; however, the sensitive nature of the data makes it difficult to evaluate approaches reproducibly on real data. The MedPerf project presented by Karargyris et al. provides the tools and infrastructure to distribute models to healthcare facilities, such that they can be trained and evaluated in realistic settings.
