We collected user needs to define a process for setting up Federated Learning in a network of hospitals. We identified seven steps: consortium definition, architecture implementation, clinical study definition, data collection, initialization, model training and results sharing. This process adapts certain steps from the classical centralized multicenter framework and brings new opportunities for interaction thanks to the architecture of the Federated Learning algorithms. It is open for completion to cover a variety of scenarios.
