Abstract

Introduction

Artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced disease diagnosis in healthcare, particularly through Deep Learning (DL) and Federated Learning (FL) approaches. These technologies have shown promise in detecting ocular diseases using medical imaging while addressing challenges related to data privacy and security. FL enables collaborative learning without sharing sensitive medical data, making it an attractive solution for healthcare applications. This systematic review aims to analyze the advancements in AI-driven ocular disease detection, with a particular focus on FL-based approaches. The article evaluates the evolution, methodologies, challenges, and effectiveness of FL in enhancing diagnostic accuracy while ensuring data confidentiality.

Methods

The systematic review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework to ensure transparency and reliability. Research articles published between 2017 and 2024 were identified using academic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and PubMed. Studies focusing on DL and FL models for detecting ocular diseases were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A comparative analysis of the methodologies, architectures, datasets, and performance metrics of different FL models has been presented.

Results and Discussion

The findings indicated that FL preserves data privacy while achieving diagnostic performance comparable to traditional centralized AI models. Various FL models, including FedAvg and FedProx, have been implemented for ocular disease detection, with high accuracy and efficiency. However, challenges, such as data heterogeneity, communication efficiency, and model convergence, persist.

 Conclusion 

FL represents a promising approach for ocular disease detection, balancing diagnostic accuracy with data privacy. Future research may focus on optimizing FL frameworks for improving scalability, communication efficiency, and integrating advanced privacy-preserving techniques.
