My eldest daughter is autistic, and suffers quite a lot with anxiety. This causes panic attacks, and can be very hard for her. I decided to take some of the techniques she uses, and create an Alexa skill for her, and others who struggle.
There are different techniques, focussing on different senses, or for general anxiety. Additionally, you can perform a breathing exercise, with Alexa guiding you.
I wrote it in node, running on an AWS lambda. Currently the techniques are stored in code, but I could extend this to a noSQL solution to provide a more robust model
It was reasonably simple, but the utterances setup piece took a little time to get my head around!
My daughter using this, and seeing the benefit she gets from it.
Interactions with the AWS SDK
More techniques to come, and the ability to provide moving images/video examples of some techniques via the Echo Show
