That's something we definitely need to have a look at. If it's possible for Alexa and Google Assistant to update their mobile versions at the same time it would be great - it would cut down on a lot of time and double-handling. And it would also remove issues like having information that a user submitted on a mobile app or a web app being out of sync with what they've submitted on a voice app. I'll have a good look into that today and see what information I can find. It seems like it should be possible, because it seems logical that the different versions would use the same databases to record and display information, but things aren't always helpful in that way! I'll have a look though and get back with any info I can find!
In an ideal world it would be great for the users to be able to record their pain on Alexa or Google assistant and then sync that with the reporting and data entry of the mobile and web apps. This needs some consideration regarding database and what kind of simple webservice might facilitate that. AWS and Google both have cloud solutions for syncing of data. Is this possible? How would it work? This task requires some research and some enquiries with experienced cloud engineers and developers to work out the solution. It also requires a lot of reading of Google Assistant/Cloud and Amazon Alexa documentation.
