Healthcare has significantly contributed to the well-being of individuals around the globe; nevertheless, further benefits could be derived from a more streamlined healthcare system without incurring additional costs. Recently, the main attributes of cloud computing, such as on-demand service, high scalability, and virtualization, have brought many benefits across many areas, especially in medical services. It is considered an important element in healthcare services, enhancing the performance and efficacy of the services. The current state of the healthcare industry requires the supply of healthcare products and services, increasing its viability for everyone involved. Developing new approaches for discovering and selecting healthcare services in the cloud has become more critical due to the rising popularity of these kinds of services. As a result of the diverse array of healthcare services, service composition enables the execution of intricate operations by integrating multiple services’ functionalities into a single procedure. However, many methods in this field encounter several issues, such as high energy consumption, cost, and response time. This article introduces a novel layered method for selecting and evaluating healthcare services to find optimal service selection and composition solutions based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL), Kalman filtering, and repeated training, addressing the aforementioned is- sues. The results revealed that the proposed method has achieved acceptable results in terms of availability, reliability, energy consumption, and response time when compared to other methods .
