The example system includes a bidding engine to receive the first tracking data from the first agent and the second tracking data the second agent. In the example system, the bidding agent to dynamically generate a first bid associated with the first patient based on the first tracking data and a second bid associated with the second patient based on the second tracking data. The example system includes a broker to assign the resource to one of the first patient or the second patient. In the example system, the broker is to dynamically communicate with the bidding engine to assign the resource based on at least one of the first bid, the second bid, or a property associated with the resource.
