MyDiag

Inspiration

I wanted to make a hands-free Alexa Skill that can tell a person about a doctor's diagnosis and about treatment options.

What it does

It listens for the users voice and when it hears it, it activates the skill to help guide someone to their diagnosis and treatment options.

How I built it

I used node.js to make an Alexa Decision Tree that will be used to find the user's diagnosis. This was done with the help of AWS' lamda and Amazon's developer databases.

Challenges I ran into

The decison tree's intents were dessignedto only listen to yes or no. Because of this I had to remake the entire skill to be compatible with the Intents I had at my disposal. Also, the AWS console chrashed my computer.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Creating a decision tree with no main problems. Being able to get the AWS console to stop crashing my computer.

What I learned

How to use the Alexa SDK and the Alexa Decision Trees
