The system integrates decentralized machine learning with cognitive AI modules at the edge node level to facilitate the real-time analysis of behavioral, emotional, and physiological data without the transmission of raw sensitive information to a central server. Local nodes utilize perception, learning, and reasoning layers to generate encrypted model updates, which are synthesized by a federated aggregation server using secure aggregation and differential privacy. An ethical governance layer ensures compliance with data protection standards and mitigates algorithmic bias. The invention enables scalable, trustworthy mental health monitoring and decision support for clinical, organizational, and remote healthcare applications."
