Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using wearable sensors has great potential in healthcare, yet centralizing sensitive data raises privacy concerns. Federated Learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving solution but often struggles with data heterogeneity, fairness, and personalization. To address these challenges, we propose FedMMD, a novel FL framework that integrates a Multi-gate Mixture-of-Experts (MMoE) architecture with a client-aware aggregation strategy. The MMoE enhances generalization and prevents expert collapse through contrastive learning, while the aggregation scheme adapts to client-specific data characteristics, improving fairness and personalization. FedMMD is evaluated against FedAvg, FedProx, and FedNova on three widely used HAR datasets. Results show consistent improvements in accuracy, F1-score, and recall, demonstrating robustness under heterogeneous conditions. Beyond performance, FedMMD ensures equitable treatment of clients with diverse data distributions; a key requirement for real-world healthcare deployment. Overall, FedMMD advances privacy-preserving healthcare by enabling scalable, reliable, and personalized HAR without compromising sensitive user data.

摘要

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using wearable sensors has great potential in healthcare, yet centralizing sensitive data raises privacy concerns. Federated Learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving solution but often struggles with data heterogeneity, fairness, and personalization. To address these challenges, we propose FedMMD, a novel FL framework that integrates a Multi-gate Mixture-of-Experts (MMoE) architecture with a client-aware aggregation strategy. The MMoE enhances generalization and prevents expert collapse through contrastive learning, while the aggregation scheme adapts to client-specific data characteristics, improving fairness and personalization. FedMMD is evaluated against FedAvg, FedProx, and FedNova on three widely used HAR datasets. Results show consistent improvements in accuracy, F1-score, and recall, demonstrating robustness under heterogeneous conditions. Beyond performance, FedMMD ensures equitable treatment of clients with diverse data distributions; a key requirement for real-world healthcare deployment. Overall, FedMMD advances privacy-preserving healthcare by enabling scalable, reliable, and personalized HAR without compromising sensitive user data.
