Personally I'm more worried about companies outside the healthcare markets getting access to health data more than insurance companies. But it seems like everyone is in agreement on that.
I'd bet money that with consistent access to sleep cycles, heart rate, blood pressure, ecg, and body temperature combined with device analytics (screen time, content watched/listened to) you could easily come up with a behavioral model that identifies users suffering from depression and anxiety.
And while it could be useful and positive (for example, they already can identify and target smokers with smoking cessation ads), I'm more afraid of malicious actors targeting people already prone to destructive behavior with feedback loops that worsen their symptoms and profit off it.
For example: User 123 is experiencing a panic attack. Send notification that Uber Eats now delivers alcohol.
