Abstract

Personalized medicine, which tailors medical treatment to individual patients based on their unique characteristics, is a promising frontier in healthcare. However, the development of personalized medicine is hindered by the scarcity of large, diverse datasets and the ethical and legal challenges associated with data sharing. Federated Transfer Learning (FTL) offers a solution by enabling the training of machine learning models across multiple decentralized data sources without the need for data to leave its original location. This paper explores the application of FTL in personalized medicine, highlighting its potential to enhance predictive accuracy, improve patient outcomes, and address privacy concerns. We present a comprehensive review of the current state of FTL in healthcare, discuss its technical challenges, and propose a novel FTL framework for personalized medicine. We also evaluate the performance of our proposed framework using real-world datasets and provide insights into its practical implications
