Write Program In Prolog For The Following Rules

Write Program In Prologfor The Following Rules

Please provide answer, write program in Prolog for the following rules and facts. RULES: Use the rules on "When to Seek Medical Attention" from corona virus. Watch for symptoms. People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported - ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, New loss of taste or smell. When to Seek Medical Attention: If you develop any of these emergency warning signs for COVID-19, get medical attention immediately: Trouble breathing, Persistent pain or pressure in the chest, New confusion or inability to arouse, Bluish lips or face. This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you. FACTS: John has Fever, Cough and Trouble breathing. Amanda has Fever, Cough and Sore throat.

Paper For Above instruction

The Prolog program designed to assess whether an individual should seek medical attention based on their symptoms and the severity of those symptoms can be constructed by encoding the symptoms and emergency signs as facts and rules. The program will model the symptoms associated with COVID-19 and identify emergency warning signs prompting immediate medical attention. Additionally, it will incorporate facts about individuals' symptoms to determine if they require urgent care.

First, we define the symptoms associated with COVID-19. These include common symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. We represent these as facts in Prolog, associating each symptom with a person. For example:

symptom(john, fever).


symptom(john, cough).


symptom(john, trouble_breathing).


symptom(amanda, fever).


symptom(amanda, cough).


symptom(amanda, sore_throat).

Next, we encode the emergency warning signs which, if present, require immediate medical attention. These are trouble breathing, persistent chest pain or pressure, confusion or inability to arouse, bluish lips or face. We define a rule needs_medical_attention/1 that determines whether an individual exhibits any of these signs:

needs_medical_attention(Person) :-


symptom(Person, trouble_breathing);


symptom(Person, chest_pain);


symptom(Person, confusion);


symptom(Person, bluish_lips).

Moreover, it is important to check if the person exhibits any of the typical COVID-19 symptoms; if so, it may indicate COVID-19 infection, requiring further medical evaluation. We can define a predicate has_covid_symptoms/1 for this purpose:

has_covid_symptoms(Person) :-


symptom(Person, fever);


symptom(Person, cough);


symptom(Person, short_breath);


symptom(Person, chills);


symptom(Person, muscle_pain);


symptom(Person, headache);


symptom(Person, sore_throat);


symptom(Person, loss_taste_smell).

Finally, the program can include rules to determine whether a person should seek medical attention based solely on emergency signs or if they have COVID-19 symptoms and require testing or care. For example:

seek_care(Person) :-


needs_medical_attention(Person).


seek_care(Person) :-


has_covid_symptoms(Person),


\+ needs_medical_attention(Person).

The facts regarding John and Amanda are then queried in the program. For example, to determine who needs medical attention, the query seek_care(john). or seek_care(amanda). can be used. Given the facts, John exhibits emergency signs (trouble breathing), so he should seek immediate medical attention. Amanda exhibits symptoms typical of COVID-19 but no emergency signs, so she should consider medical evaluation but not necessarily immediate emergency care.

This Prolog program offers a simple model to encode COVID-19 symptoms, identify emergency warning signs, and determine individuals' needs for medical attention based on their symptoms, thereby assisting in guiding appropriate health responses.
