In this work, SARS disorder denotes a generic acute severe respiratory distress condition characterized by abnormal respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, fever, and cardiovascular stress indicators, and does not represent a COVID-19 diagnostic system. Our research aims at analyzing a context-aware SARS disorder management system through the implementation of a multi-agent simulation framework using the NetLogo setting. The system relies on the use of interacting agents as well as non-monotonic, context-sensitive reasoning to reduce uncertainty and deal with the possible inconsistencies that happen due to biosensor recordings. A knowledge-based inference component is the combination of physiological sensor outputs and domain specific contextual data to assist in making informed decisions. The research involved the use of several machine-learning classifiers, that is, Naïve Bayes, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, Decision Table, Logistic Regression, and Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) so as to evaluate their appropriateness in being incorporated into the developed structure. To measure the system performance, standard evaluation measures were used such as True Positive (TP), False Positive (FP), Precision, Recall, F-Measure, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Precision-Recall curve (PRC). The framework includes a list of physiological, environmental, and contextual variables, such as electrocardiographic parameters, heart-rate parameters, blood-pressure parameters, arterial oxygen saturation parameters, core body temperature, room temperature, the past history of the patient, and parameters that relate to alerts. The classification task is to produce probabilistic forecasts that help to define whether a patient should be alerted or clinical staff members informed in order to facilitate context-specific healthcare response.
