The processing time and analyzing the big data received from IoT devices, as well as providing the necessary accuracy for data classification, are considered as the most important challenges in IoT. Therefore, this study aims to improve the accuracy of data classification by implementing hybrid approaches of feature selection (FS) and deep learning (DL) within the fog computing infrastructure while reducing the response time (RT) and bandwidth usage. Also, the major goal is to analyze and classify the states of patients remotely through IoT, cloud computing and fog computing technologies. The information processing time is reduced by implementing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) in fog computing to select the prominent features, and the classification accuracy is improved through classifying new data by a deep neural network (DNN) model. The simulation results show that the accuracy of the classification and remote monitoring of patients is 98.54%, which is about 4.5% better than the case without using PSO-ICA algorithms, and it is also improved by about 10% on average compared to other methods such as Linear Regression (LR), K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Neural Network (NN), and Bayesian Belief Net (BBN).
