| 2025 | Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning for Human Intention Modeling in Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Using Extended RealityabstractAccurately modeling human intentions in pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) rehabilitation is essential for providing successful, adaptive therapy that responds to each child’s particular motor and cognitive characteristics. Conventional observation-based methods frequently fail to detect nuanced or unusual intention patterns, particularly in young children with intricate motor disorders. This study presents a theoretical framework that combines privacy-preserving federated learning (FL) with immersive extended reality (XR) technology to facilitate real-time, personalized intention recognition in therapeutic contexts. The system utilizes the immersive features of the Meta Quest Pro headset for interactive pediatric rehabilitation and the edge-processing capabilities of NVIDIA Jetson devices to do on-device inference and federated model updates without transferring sensitive patient information. The proposed architecture safeguards data privacy while facilitating decentralized model training in distant clinical settings. Our conceptual framework delineates multimodal data capture, federated aggregation procedures, adaptive XR feedback, and intention-aware therapeutic modifications—executed fully offline and under complete local control. This paper offers a scalable and ethically acceptable theoretical framework for revolutionizing pediatric rehabilitation using secure, intelligent, and immersive therapeutic technology, without necessitating implementation.

| 2025 | Lightweight Deep Learning with Virtual Reality Visualization for Offline Tumor Segmentation in Rural EnvironmentsabstractAdvanced medical imaging has enhanced diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Continued improvement means that the innovation presents significant medical benefits for health services, professionals and patients. However, access and adoption of the technology remain uneven due to the level of digital infrastructure and technical expertise required. The human and technical resources particularly impact rural and resource-constrained settings. These environments often face infrastructural limitations, unreliable connectivity, and restricted computational capacity, hindering equitable access to innovative technologies. In response, this research proposes a novel theoretical framework that integrates lightweight, quantization-enhanced deep learning with immersive offline virtual reality to generate high-fidelity tumor segmentation images tailored for low-resource contexts. This approach facilitates sporadic distant expert consultations, enhances local clinician training, and aligns medical technology deployment with environmental sustainability. While challenges remain in balancing accuracy, computational efficiency, patient acceptance, and regulatory compliance, this framework holds significant promise for advancing scalable, equitable healthcare delivery and diagnostic reliability in underserved settings.

| 2024 | Secure and Decentralized Collaboration in Oncology: A Blockchain Approach to Tumor SegmentationabstractThis research presents an innovative framework that uses blockchain technology to improve tumor segmentation in medical imaging. The approach tackles issues related to data security, particularly when dealing with real private dataset, annotation accuracy, and collaboration. With the growing reliance of the medical industry on accurate tumor segmentation from medical images for cancer diagnosis and treatment, current methods are inadequate in maintaining data accuracy and promoting collaboration among experts across different countries. Our suggested approach utilizes blockchain technology to establish a decentralized, secure platform for the collaborative obtaining, annotation, and validation of medical images by data scientists, oncologists, and radiologists. Smart contracts streamline essential procedures such as verification of annotations, consensus among experts, and remuneration of contributors, guaranteeing the dependability and excellence of the data. Furthermore, the unchangeable record of transactions in the blockchain ensures a reliable basis for implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This improves the accuracy of segmenting data and allows for predictive modeling. This strategy not only improves the precision and effectiveness of tumor segmentation but also promotes a worldwide collaborative environment, which has the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnostics and treatment planning. Furthermore, it ensures the privacy and security of patient data. Ramin Ranjbarzadeh, Ayse Keles, Martin Crane, Shokofeh Anari, Malika Bendechache |
