Cyber Threats in E-healthcare and an Autonomous Cybersecurity Agent: A Comprehensive Review

In the future, an AI-driven security agent could be designed to face cyberattacks for small-scale E-healthcare systems. With the evolution of the Internet, E-healthcare information is made available within seconds on any electronic device, irrespective of the user’s geographical location. Since E-healthcare information can be accessed flexibly by individuals on the Internet, as such these are prone to cyberattacks by hackers and even the critical healthcare infrastructure. This study is a critical narrative review of the threats faced by the E-healthcare sector while proposing autonomous AI-driven security agents for improving cyber resilience. The major attacks faced by the E-healthcare systems are ransomware, phishing, data breaches, malware, Distributed Denial of Service, Structured Query Language injection, and Man-in-the-Middle, together with their influence on privacy, confidentiality, authenticity, and patient safety. In this article, a seven-stage cybersecurity response framework consisting of identification, protection, detection, response, recovery, procurement, and security audit is introduced. This architecture is capable of sensing, analyzing, responding to, and learning from the changing attack patterns to ensure security from future attacks. This article also highlights the significance of AI-assisted security mechanisms, staff awareness, and privacy-preserving practices in enhancing defenses of the electronic healthcare sector. In the future, the proposed framework could be implemented and validated as eventually cybersecurity needs to be adaptive to cyberattacks.   Received: 6 March 2026 | Revised: 25 June 2026 | Accepted: 2 July 2026   Conflicts of Interest The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest to this work.   Data Availability Statement Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analyzed in this study.   Author Contribution Statement Divya Sharma: Conceptualization, Methodology, Software, Formal analysis, Resources, Data curation, Writing – original draft, Visualization.

Learning-driven MIMO channel estimation using a residual U-Net-BiLSTM-attention hybrid model.

Channel estimation provides the channel state information (CSI) required for coherent detection and precoding in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Accurate CSI is particularly critical under strong noise, limited pilot overhead and model mismatch, where conventional estimators often exhibit significant performance degradation. This work introduces a hybrid residual U-Net-bidirectional long short-term memory with attention (ResUNet-BiLSTM-Attention) channel estimator that learns a nonlinear mapping from noisy pilot observations to MIMO channel coefficients. The architecture combines a ResUNet encoder-decoder for multi-scale spatial feature extraction, a BiLSTM module for capturing structured dependencies in the unfolded feature sequence and a self-attention layer that emphasizes globally informative channel components before reconstruction. The model is trained on a synthetically generated [Formula: see text] MIMO dataset with 20, 000 training and 2, 000 validation samples over a wide SNR range, using a normalized mean square error (NMSE) loss for stable convergence. Extensive simulations show that the proposed estimator consistently outperforms both conventional and learning-based baselines. The comparison includes LS, LMMSE, orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP), simultaneous OMP (SOMP), beamspace-based dynamic support detection with windowing (BSP-DSDW), CNN-CE, U-Net-CE, and lightweight attention-based CE. At 25 dB SNR, it attains an NMSE of about [Formula: see text] dB, corresponding to an NMSE gain of about 9-10 dB over BSP-DSDW and a clear improvement over the added learning-based baselines. A module-wise ablation study further verifies the individual contribution of the ResUNet, BiLSTM, and attention blocks, while the runtime evaluation is conducted under a common GPU-enabled benchmarking setup using repeated inference trials. Additional studies on training set size, different user channels, computational complexity, parameter count, FLOPs, memory requirement, inference latency, pilot length, noise factor, and spatial correlation further confirm the robustness and practical feasibility of the proposed design. With a fixed computational structure, the proposed estimator achieves an observed inference latency range of approximately 2.5-4.0 ms per channel realization under the considered compact MIMO setup.

A 3D residual U-Net with attention-driven spatial pyramid pooling for accurate multimodal MRI brain tumor segmentation

Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the accurate detection and localization of brain tumors, which is essential for effective clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. However, conventional segmentation approaches often struggle to capture complex spatial dependencies in volumetric data. To address this limitation, this study proposes an enhanced 3D U-Net architecture for multi-modal MRI-based brain tumor segmentation. The proposed model leverages three-dimensional convolutional operations to effectively capture contextual and spatial information from volumetric inputs. Additionally, an automated preprocessing pipeline, including image resizing, intensity normalization, and data augmentation, is incorporated to improve model robustness and generalization. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated against a conventional U-Net and a ResNet-based segmentation model using standard metrics such as Dice coefficient, accuracy, Intersection-over-Union (IoU), precision, recall, and F1-score. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed 3D U-Net achieves superior performance, with a Dice coefficient of 0.83 and a Jaccard index of 0.82, outperforming baseline models across all evaluation metrics. Furthermore, the model exhibits improved convergence behavior and reduced overfitting, indicating strong generalization capability. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the proposed approach for volumetric medical image segmentation. Future work will focus on optimizing hyperparameters, enhancing architectural design, and validating the model on larger and more diverse clinical datasets.
