Inspiration

This alexa skill will help you scan your mental health so that you can take preventive and corrective actions.
What it does
This skills asks you a set of questions and then based on your response, it will identify whether you are suffering from mental health disorder or not. It scans for Depression, Anxiety or Stress.
How I built it
I used Amazon web services such as Lambda along with Alexa skill kit to build this skill. I really enjoyed building it. This is my fourth live skill on Amazon skill store.
Challenges I ran into
It was difficult to maintain session state to record which question has user answered as Yes and which one as No. I thought I have to use DynamoDB to store the information but I didn't want to do that as I really don't need that info later. Then I figured out how to use Session attributes and it really solved my problem.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I had this idea of building a mental health scanner and I built it. I am really proud of my accomplishment.
What I learned
How to built a skill which asks questions and let you answer those questions and based on your inputs, do some analysis and provide results.
