FairHealth为低资源医疗场景提供可信AI工具,支持公平性审计与隐私保护。

FairHealth: An Open-Source Python Library for Trustworthy Healthcare AI in Low-Resource Settings

  • 整合联邦学习与同态加密,实现隐私保护下的协作建模
  • 内置交叉公平性度量与模糊SHAP解释工具,提升模型透明度
  • 专为低带宽、多语言环境设计,适合全球南方医疗应用

我们提出FairHealth,一个开源的Python库,为低资源和低收入国家(如孟加拉国)的医疗人工智能应用提供统一、模块化的可信机器学习框架。该工具包填补了现有医疗AI工具集的四大空白:(1) 生物信号与临床表格数据缺乏集成公平性审计;(2) 缺乏兼容标准机器学习工作流的隐私保护联邦学习工具;(3) 无针对低带宽临床决策支持的可解释性工具;(4) 无覆盖全球南方医疗数据集的工具包。基于五项同行评审研究,FairHealth包含六个模块:支持同态加密的联邦学习(fairhealth.federated)、交叉公平性度量(fairhealth.fairness)、混合模糊SHAP可解释性(fairhealth.explain)、多语言登革热分诊(fairhealth.lowresource)、公平灾害援助分配(fairhealth.equity)及公共数据集加载器(fairhealth.datasets)。所有数据集均公开可得,无需机构数据使用协议。可通过pip install fairhealth安装(PyPI: pypi.org/project/fairhealth/),代码见https://github.com/Farjana-Yesmin/fairhealth。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present FairHealth, an open-source Python library that provides a unified, modular framework for trustworthy machine learning in healthcare applications, with particular focus on low-resource and low-income country (LMIC) settings such as Bangladesh. FairHealth addresses four critical gaps in existing healthcare AI toolkits: (1) the absence of integrated fairness auditing for biosignals and clinical tabular data; (2) the lack of privacy-preserving federated learning tools compatible with standard ML workflows; (3) missing explainability tools tailored for low-bandwidth clinical decision support; and (4) no existing toolkit covering Global South healthcare datasets. Built from five peer-reviewed research contributions, FairHealth provides six modules covering federated learning with homomorphic encryption (fairhealth.federated), intersectional fairness metrics (fairhealth.fairness), hybrid fuzzy-SHAP explainability (fairhealth.explain), multilingual dengue triage (fairhealth.lowresource), equitable disaster aid allocation (fairhealth.equity), and public dataset loaders (fairhealth.datasets). All datasets used are publicly available without institutional data use agreements. FairHealth is installable via pip install fairhealth(PyPI: pypi.org/project/fairhealth/) and available at https://github.com/Farjana-Yesmin/fairhealth.
