abstract = {Large-scale foundation models, especially Federated Large Language Models (FLLMs), aim to transform digital health by enabling clinically-grade natural language processing while keeping sensitive data local. However, their adoption is hindered by two main issues: (i) the computational and communication burden of parameter-rich models on resource-constrained Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) devices, and (ii) performance degradation caused by Non-Independent and Identically Distributed (Non-IID) patient data. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of Federated Learning (FL) for LLMs in Healthcare (FedMed-LLMs). We review the foundations of FL and medical LLMs. Then, we present the FL-enabled LLMs applications in healthcare, and we examine their issues in terms of privacy, robustness, and trustworthiness. Finally, we present a set of core research problems and a comprehensive research agenda that identifies future directions for building robust and scalable FedMed-LLMs systems. © 2013 IEEE.},

abstract = {The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is reshaping industrial automation through interconnected, intelligent systems. However, this evolution increases exposure to sophisticated cyber threats, especially given the constraints of IIoT devices such as limited processing power, bandwidth, and heterogeneous protocols. Traditional machine learning methods often fail to meet these security demands due to their computational intensity and centralized data requirements. To address this, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical Split Federated Learning (SFL) framework for intrusion detection in IIoT networks. Our method integrates Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) to model complex, non-linear data relationships, enhancing detection accuracy while preserving data privacy through decentralized learning. The architecture assigns lightweight preprocessing to edge devices and complex analysis to a quantum backend, ensuring efficiency and scalability. To evaluate the proposed framework, we conduct extensive experiments on the real-world EDGE-IIoT dataset; the experimental results demonstrate that the model attains 95.5% training accuracy, significantly surpassing classical SFL (85.7%). In addition, the quantum model's enhanced entanglement properties and expressibility strengthen its generalization performance. This approach offers an efficient and privacy-preserving solution for securing IIoT systems. © 2026 IEEE.},

abstract = {Speech is known to carry health-related attributes, which has emerged as a novel venue for remote and long-term health monitoring. However, existing models are usually tailored for a specific type of disease, and have been shown to lack generalizability across datasets. Furthermore, concerns have been raised recently towards the leakage of speaker identity from health embeddings. To mitigate these limitations, we propose WavRx, a speech health diagnostics model that captures the respiration and articulation related dynamics from a universal speech representation. Our in-domain and cross-domain experiments on six pathological speech datasets demonstrate WavRx as a new state-of-the-art health diagnostic model. Furthermore, we show that the amount of speaker identity entailed in the WavRx health embeddings is significantly reduced without extra guidance during training. An in-depth analysis of the model was performed, thus providing physiological interpretation of its improved generalizability and privacy-preserving ability. © 2013 IEEE.},
