Covid-19 Google Home Assistant

  Covid-19-Assistant

Inspiration

We were inspired by the functionality of current smart devices including Google Home and Alexa. We hoped to leverage this technology and transform it into a tool to help people stay safe and healthy during the pandemic.

What it does

The purpose of this extension is to promote safety precautions and encourage users to complete self assessments. Users can ask their Google Home for Covid-19 updates and local regulations, guided self assessment and booking Covid-19 tests.

How I built it

We built this assistant using VoiceFlow technology incorporating capture functionality to store user’s data like their name, emergency contact information and more as well as conditional blocks to determine which output best suited the users conditions.

Challenges I ran into

Some challenges we faced were with learning how to use the VoiceFlow technology as well as how to integrate it with other technologies we wanted to use.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

In such unprecedented times, we are proud to have used our knowledge and grown our skills while contributing to helping people battle the pandemic.

What I learned

Through this project we learned how to use VoiceFlow technology and a more in depth understanding of voice recognition software and its further use cases.

What's next for Covid-19 Google Home Assistant

Our future goals with this assistant is to provide more functionality in regards to other aspects of a person's health care. For example booking appointments with their physician, picking up prescriptions and more.
