We’re validating our methods through two real-world cases:

🩸 Sickle Cell Disease
🧫 Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
AI helping clinicians improve diagnosis, prediction, and personalised care.

Our platform brings together:
🧠 Federated Learning
🔒 Secure Multi-Party Computation
⚖️ Differential Privacy

The result: synthetic data that mimics real patterns without exposing personal information.

#FederatedLearning #SyntheticData

SYNTHEMA @synthemaeu.bsky.social · 5d

SYNTHEMA unites 16 partners from 10 countries to create a cross-border health-data hub for rare haematological diseases.

Together, we’re making data collaboration secure, ethical, and scalable.

When data is rare, progress slows. Over 450 blood-related disorders are classified as rare, yet data remains fragmented and inaccessible — limiting progress for 30M+ patients across Europe.

Most synthetic data models assume data abundance. This study shows how transfer learning and meta-learning improve synthetic data generation for cancer research in low-data scenarios, where real clinical constraints apply.

Through collaborations with @radeep.bsky.social and ENROL, SYNTHEMA aligns rare disease datasets with European standards. This ensures interoperability across registries and hospitals, strengthening the foundation for synthetic data and AI solutions in real-world healthcare.

SYNTHEMA @synthemaeu.bsky.social · Oct 2

In #SYNTHEMA, data collection is central to building GDPR-compliant, AI-ready datasets for Sickle Cell Disease and Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Harmonised across countries, the data supports synthetic generation, federated learning, and future rare disease research.

Data scarcity and fragmentation limit synthetic data in healthcare. This study introduces Synthetic Data Sharing, a federated learning method that improves representativeness and reduces disparities between data-rich and data-poor institutions.

The #SYNTHEMA platform enables synthetic health data without moving sensitive patient info.
✔️ Data stays local
✔️ Federated learning across centres
✔️ FAIR-based quality & compliance

Tested in #SCD & #AML use cases. More info: synthema.eu

SYNTHEMA @synthemaeu.bsky.social · Sep 9

#SYNTHEMA is building the foundations for a future where synthetic, privacy-preserving data supports progress in rare diseases.

Beyond its two use cases, its flexible design can benefit other rare and underrepresented conditions.
