# Welcome!
{% hint style="warning" %}
This application represents the latest version of the federated learning module used in MEDomicsLab platform. We strive to keep both synchronized.
{% endhint %}
Welcome to the MEDfl-app documentation, where you will find all the resources you need to download, install and use the application.
### MEDomicsLab
This application is part of the [MEDomicsLab ](https://medomics-udes.gitbook.io/medomicslab-docs)project. It provides a graphical user interface to interact with the [MEDfl package](https://github.com/MEDomicsLab/MEDfl), enabling users to create federated learning experiments in both simulation and real world envirenement.
### The MEDfl application
The MEDimage-app is a graphical implementation of the MEDfl Python package. It enables the use of all MEDfl functionalities through an interactive interface. These functionalities include creating, execute and analyse federated learning experiments in both simulation and real world senarios.
### Our goal
The goal of **MEDfl** is to provide a clear and progressive approach to federated learning that guides researchers from an initial idea to real-world deployment. MEDfl structures federated learning research into three stages: **conceptualization of the idea, simulation-based validation, and real-world experimentation**, enabling methodical and reproducible development.
A central objective of MEDfl is to **bridge the gap between computer science and medical research** by facilitating collaboration between these communities. By offering a shared experimental framework, MEDfl allows computer scientists and medical researchers to contribute their respective expertise while reducing technical and methodological barriers. Ultimately, MEDfl aims to simplify the federated learning process and support the effective translation of research ideas into practical medical applications.
Before diving in, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the concepts of Federated learning. You can read more about radiomics [here](broken://pages/GHIivNlGHhS4Ze2OO12Y).
