Systems and methods for using federated learning for training centralized seizure detection and prediction models on decentralized datasets

Abstract

A server for updating a current version of a machine learning model resident in implanted medical devices includes an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a plurality of updated versions of the machine learning model from a plurality of remote sources remote from the server. The remote source may be, e.g., implanted medical devices and/or subservers. The processor is coupled to the memory and the interface and is configured to aggregate the plurality of updated versions to derive a server-updated version of the machine learning model, and to transmit the server-updated version of the machine learning model to one or more of the plurality of remote sources as a replacement for the current version of the machine learning model.
