PPCD: Privacy-preserving clinical decision with cloud support

However, using medical data and disease information of patients frequently raise privacy concerns. In this paper, based on single-layer perceptron, we propose a scheme of privacy-preserving clinical decision with cloud support (PPCD), which securely conducts disease model training and prediction for the patient.

Each party learns nothing about the other's private information. In PPCD, a lightweight secure multiplication is presented and introduced to improve the model training. Security analysis and experimental results on real data confirm the high accuracy of disease prediction achieved by the proposed PPCD without the risk of privacy disclosure.
