It’s in iOS 13 and you can already use it with the beta. You can enter data about your menstrual cycle and it shows a fertile window.
What’s interesting here is: I don’t know much about HIPAA, but I know a bit about the increasing regulation of health apps in the EU. The law is a bit muddy. But you could argue that apps, which gather health data and apply some kind of algorithm to it that helps you understand your body in a better way, fall under the coming Medical Device Regulation. This law will be effective in May 2020.

I would certainly hope they do fall under that regulation. Otherwise, I can certainly see a few developers manipulating their algorithms for health apps in a way to change people's behaviors in order to reinforce some belief the app developer may have.

Could you clarify here? It sounds like there's a sub-text, but I apparently lack the context to "get it".
