   Which is why I don't solely use Backblaze (fast recovery, medium level of trust). I also backup the same data to Glacier-class S3 (slow recovery, high level of trust) and Time Machine (v. quick recovery, same-site risk).

    HealthKit is just the name of the API, like WebKit, UIKit, etc. I doubt it will be the name of the public facing product.
