contents Indoor localization systems in care facilities enable optimization of staff allocation, workload management, and quality of care delivery. Traditional machine learning approaches to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based localization treat each temporal measurement as an independent observation, fundamentally limiting their performance. To address this limitation, this paper introduces Deep Attention-based Sequential Ensemble Learning (DASEL), a novel framework that reconceptualizes indoor localization as a sequential learning problem. The framework integrates frequency-based feature engineering, bidirectional GRU networks with attention mechanisms, multi-directional sliding windows, and confidence-weighted temporal smoothing to capture human movement trajectories. Evaluated on real-world data from a care facility using 4-fold temporal cross-validation, DASEL achieves a macro F1 score of 0.4438, representing a 53.1% improvement over the best traditional baseline (0.2898).
