Google Assistant Covid-19 Self Assessment

This is a google nest, it is one of the many devices google assistant runs on. It is also where my project can run on.

Inspiration

As everyone already knows, our situation currently with COVID-19 is not in the best place. Cases are rising at a record pace in Ontario, and I figured if I was someone who has or is concerned about having COVID what would I need. That's where this idea came to mind, making the COVID-19 self-assessment available on google assistants and smart speakers as they are something that is frequently placed around the homes of many people.

What it does

The Google Assistant Covid-19 Self Assessment does what it says, it helps you become aware of your body and the symptoms that you might have. I will also tell you what you should do depending on the answers that you give it. All of the questions asked are based on the Self Assessment tool made by the government of Canada.

How I built it

I built this on Google's Action Console, this is where you can create functions for google assistant to use and test it out on different devices with Google Assistant on it. I also used a bit of YAML in the program.

Challenges I ran into

I didn't know how Google's Action Console worked and how to code in YAML so I had to learn everything from the beginning.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was able to get it to work on all platforms that can use google assistant which include, the phone's google assistant, the google nest's google assistant, the smart hub, and more.
