Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major and often undiagnosed risk factor for ischemic stroke, with paroxysmal episodes that frequently evade conventional intermittent monitoring. Wearable devices combining photoplethysmography (PPG) and single-lead ECG have enabled large-scale AFib screening, but many current systems rely on cloud-based processing, introducing latency, connectivity dependence, and privacy concerns.

Edge artificial intelligence (AI), which enables on-device deep-learning inference directly on smartwatches, represents a key advancement toward real-time, scalable AFib detection. By eliminating reliance on cloud infrastructure, edge AI reduces latency, enhances privacy, and supports immediate alerts during transient arrhythmic events. However, practical implementation requires careful optimization of model efficiency, power consumption, and hardware constraints alongside clinical validation. Future progress will depend on multi-objective design strategies that integrate accuracy, latency, and energy efficiency, as well as collaboration among engineers, clinicians, and regulators. Addressing challenges such as alert fatigue, equitable access, and data governance will be essential. Ultimately, edge AI has the potential to transform AFib management from reactive diagnosis to continuous, preventive monitoring, functioning as an unobtrusive, always-available cardiac safeguard.

Type 2 diabetes affects over 400 million people worldwide and requires lifelong management through continuous monitoring of laboratory values, medications, and comorbidities, yet the use of longitudinal electronic health records for research is restricted by privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR, making synthetic data generation an important alternative for preserving utility while protecting confidentiality. However, existing synthetic data models often fail to accurately capture temporal treatment effects and the gradual development of comorbidities, limiting their usefulness for downstream clinical and machine learning applications. To address this, a time-series generative adversarial network is proposed for longitudinal diabetes data, incorporating a temporal encoder for irregular sampling, a treatment-conditioned generator, and dual discriminators that evaluate both static patient characteristics and dynamic clinical trajectories to ensure consistency between interventions and outcomes. By explicitly modeling temporal dependencies and comorbidity structures, the framework produces more realistic synthetic patient records that better reflect disease progression and medication-response relationships, thereby enabling privacy-preserving data sharing while supporting robust secondary analyses and future applications in chronic disease modeling.

Although conventional modalities such as mammography reduce mortality, they are limited by false positives, false negatives, and overdiagnosis, particularly in dense breast tissue and diverse populations. Deep learning, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has shown promise in improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing inter-reader variability; however, its translation into routine clinical practice requires critical evaluation beyond reported performance metrics. This critical review evaluates CNN-based deep learning applications for breast cancer detection across mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, with emphasis on training strategies and barriers to clinical deployment. A targeted literature search identified peer-reviewed studies focusing on CNN architectures, transfer learning, and implementation challenges. Findings indicate that models such as ResNet, DenseNet, and EfficientNet perform well in controlled settings, supported by transfer learning and data augmentation approaches. However, these results often fail to translate into consistent clinical performance, particularly across imaging modalities and real-world workflows. Limitations including demographic bias, insufficient external validation, and weak evidence of outcome or cost-effectiveness highlight a substantial gap between experimental success and clinical readiness. The review concludes that while deep learning in breast imaging is promising, its adoption should remain cautious and evidence-driven until robust clinical benefit is clearly demonstrated.

Emergency department crowding is a persistent global healthcare challenge linked to longer wait times, increased patients leaving without being seen, worse clinical outcomes, and staff burnout. It also contributes to ambulance diversion and inefficient resource use, worsening hospital operational strain. This systematic review evaluates machine learning models for predicting ED crowding and optimizing patient flow, focusing on input features (e.g., arrival rates, acuity, bed availability) and reported operational outcomes such as waiting times and ambulance delays. A PRISMA-compliant review was conducted across PubMed, Embase, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus. Included studies applied machine learning to ED crowding or patient flow prediction and reported operational or crowding outcomes. Due to heterogeneity, a narrative synthesis was used, and risk of bias was assessed using an adapted tool. Thirty-two studies met inclusion criteria, using classification, regression, time-series, and deep learning models. Common predictors included arrival patterns, occupancy, and bed availability. While predictive performance was generally high, few studies evaluated real-world operational impacts, and most remained retrospective. Although machine learning models demonstrate strong predictive accuracy for ED crowding, evidence of real-world operational benefits remains limited. A clear gap exists between prediction and implementation into clinical workflow and decision-making. Future research should focus on translating predictions into measurable improvements in ED performance.

Mortality prediction in the ICU is essential for effective resource allocation and early clinical intervention. Bedside monitors generate multivariate physiological time-series data, but these are often irregularly sampled, making standard predictive modeling challenging. Conventional transformer models assume regular time intervals and fixed positional encodings, which limits their ability to capture clinically meaningful temporal gaps in real ICU data. This can reduce the accuracy of mortality risk prediction by obscuring important short- and long-term physiological patterns.To address this limitation, the TERTIAN framework introduces a hierarchical transformer with time-aware positional encoding specifically designed for irregular ICU data. It combines a local transformer to capture short-term dynamics and a global transformer to model long-term trends, integrating both through time-sensitive attention mechanisms. This design eliminates the need for data imputation and improves temporal understanding of patient trajectories.Overall, the framework better captures rapid deterioration and gradual decline by respecting irregular sampling patterns, leading to more clinically relevant predictions. By aligning model structure with real-world ICU data characteristics, TERTIAN offers a promising approach for improving mortality prediction and supporting critical care decision-making.

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of preventable blindness, with fundus photography commonly used for early detection and severity grading, while deep learning models have shown strong performance in classification but require large, diverse multi-center datasets that are difficult to obtain due to privacy and regulatory restrictions. Because fundus images are protected health information, hospitals cannot share data, resulting in isolated datasets that limit model generalizability across different populations, imaging devices, and clinical settings. To overcome this limitation, a hybrid framework combining federated learning with homomorphic encryption is proposed, allowing multiple hospitals to collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging raw images or plaintext gradients. Each institution performs local training and transmits only encrypted model updates to a central server for secure aggregation, ensuring that patient data remains fully protected while still enabling global model improvement. This approach also mitigates gradient leakage and reconstruction attacks, supports compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR, and enables scalable, fault-tolerant deployment across heterogeneous healthcare systems, ultimately providing a privacy-preserving pathway for robust multi-center diabetic retinopathy detection.
