<![CDATA[Falls pose significant risk to the health and safety of individuals, specifically for vulnerable populations as the elderly and those with specific medical conditions. The repercussions of falls can be severe, leading to injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. Consequently, the development of effective fall detection systems is crucial for providing timely assistance and enhancing the overall well-being of affected individuals. Recent advancements in deep learning (DL) have opened new avenues for automating fall detection through the analysis of sensor data and video footage. DL algorithms are especially well-suited for this task because they can automatically learn complex features and patterns from raw data, eliminating the need for extensive manual feature engineering. This article introduces a novel approach to fall detection and classification, termed the fall detection and classification using Jarratt‐butterfly optimization algorithm with deep learning (FDC-JBOADL) algorithm. The FDC-JBOADL technique employs a median filtering (MF) method to mitigate noise and utilizes the EfficientNet model for robust feature extraction, capturing both motion patterns and appearance characteristics of individuals. Furthermore, the classification of fall events is achieved through a long short-term memory (LSTM) classifier, with hyperparameter optimization facilitated by Jarratt‐butterfly optimization algorithm (JBOA). Through a comprehensive series of experiments, the efficacy of FDC-JBOADL technique is validated, demonstrating superior performance compared to existing methodologies in the domain of fall detection.]]>
