About FENITH

FENITH represents a groundbreaking initiative in healthcare data analysis, leveraging federated learning techniques to enable collaborative research across Italian healthcare institutions while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security.

Our framework facilitates the development of sophisticated machine learning models through distributed computation, allowing healthcare providers to contribute to collective knowledge without compromising sensitive patient information.

Privacy-Preserving Architecture

Advanced federated learning protocols ensure sensitive medical data never leaves local institutions while enabling collaborative model training.

Standardized Integration

Seamless integration with existing healthcare information systems through standardized protocols and interfaces.

Research Impact

Facilitating breakthrough research in personalized medicine, rare disease detection, and treatment optimization across the Italian healthcare network.

Framework Assessment Study

Before developing FENITH, we started an ongoing and evolving study on the "Adoption of federated learning in Italian healthcare institutions" (open source: Ministry of Health). This systematic assessment will allow us to deeply understand the specific needs, challenges and opportunities within the Italian healthcare network.
