Amazon determines a users intent using a custom JSON configuration defined for the skill by the skill developer. In this case, the JSON configuration for the intent model is defined per [configuration.json](configuration.json).

If a voice command request is valid and for one of the three primary functions of the skill, then the contents of a request is forwarded from [seizure.php](seizure.php) to the `handle_seizure` PHP function within [seizure.events.php](seizure.events.php).
If a voice command request is valid and for one of the four primary functions of the skill, then the contents of a request is forwarded from [seizure.php](seizure.php) to the `handle_seizure` PHP function within [seizure.events.php](seizure.events.php).

##### Primary functions

There are three primary functions within [seizure.events.php](seizure.events.php) (which is called by [seizure.php](seizure.php)) that interact with the SeizureTracker.com API to do the following things via Alexa voice commands:
There are four primary functions within [seizure.events.php](seizure.events.php) (which is called by [seizure.php](seizure.php)) that interact with the SeizureTracker.com API to do the following things via Alexa voice commands:

| Alexa Intent | PHP Function | Purpose |
| --------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `CountSeizures` | `count_seizures` | Count seizures that have occurred today |
| `AddSeizure` | `add_seizure` | Track a new seizure |
| `AddVNS` | `add_vns` | Tie VNS stimulator usage/swipe to a seizure event |
| `EndSeizure` | `end_seizure` | Mark a (previously tracked) seizure as having ended |

### Future Plans?

#### Including these capabilities could be useful:
* Track whether seizure medication was taken
* Track vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) usage

#### "Flash Briefing" ideas:
* Medication reminder
* Announce count of seizures for the prior day

#### others

* IN PROGRESS: track VNS swipes/usage
* track whether medication was taken
* `class{}`-y PHP would be great...
* perhaps do some other stuff with Flash Briefing which announces count of seizures for the prior day...?
* somehow make `handle_seizure()` cooler instead of just treating whatever string it returns as success
* somehow make `handle_seizure()` cooler instead of just treating whatever string it returns as success
* maybe do more intense checking on phrases received from Alexa?
- it absolutely cannot do proper voice-to-text on the word *"ended"* no matter how I pronounce it!
* I've gotten back *"and 8"*, *"I ate and"*, and all kinds of crazy stuff that's not even close
