arXiv:2606.11556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring could surface rhythm abnormalities before they escalate into cardiovascular events. However, a deployable system must satisfy three requirements simultaneously: legal-grade privacy (GDPR, HIPAA), real-time inference on constrained edge hardware, and detection quality under non-IID cross-hospital data. We design and evaluate an end-to-end federated system addressing all three for unsupervised 12-lead ECG anomaly detection on PTB-XL dataset, combining three autoencoder families (VanillaAE, ConvAE, V
The proliferation of edge devices and increasing demand for real-time health monitoring, coupled with stringent data privacy regulations, necessitates immediate solutions for secure and efficient AI deployment.
This development allows for critical health monitoring to be performed closer to the patient, ensuring data privacy compliant with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, while maintaining high detection quality on diverse datasets.
The ability to deploy sophisticated AI for health diagnostics directly on constrained edge hardware, with strong privacy guarantees, shifts the paradigm from centralized cloud processing to distributed, secure analysis.
