Totally agree, the limitations here aren’t technical, they are regulatory. The barrier to entry for medical devices (FDA approval) is so incredibly high it greatly slows down development on health related devices. Apple has an entire team dedicated to regulatory stuff for the one tiny health feature they offer on the Apple Watch.

Even worse, selling people's private health details (as sketchy as they may be) to whoever wants, or just making them public for hackers, is a much bigger detriment than any tech on the horizon can bring as a positive.
