Please. Health is or rather should be a serious endeavour, not fashionable or taken lightly like 'a hobby'. Would you trust your health or that of a loved one to a company whose software leaves so much to be desired of late? Maybe if you'd like to replace the cuff on your blood pressure monitor with colourful ones once in a while, or be 'cool' (*snicker, snicker*) with a Beats-banded pacemaker or something. I dunno. Perhaps a garishly-colored UI on those multi-parameter monitors they hook you up to in hospitals? One in which nurses struggle to figure out where to find various functions because most of them are hidden, some units require Force Touch, others don't have enough RAM to juggle all your vitals at the same time and still others prompt you to use Apple Pay to purchase more space in iCloud because your complimentary 5 GB is filled with episodes of Planet of the Apps.
Let's get serious: Apple in the health industry would be similar to so-called health stores: fluffy crap that may make some people feel good about themselves but ultimately does little or nothing for your actual health, and in fact do harm in some cases. Best leave health to the real professionals IMO.
That narrative makes me cringe.
Yes, I would trust my health to Apple, their software doesn't leave anything to be desired in anything that's critical.
They'll certainly do better than those current medical appliance manufacturers, that make extremely expensive equipment that are only reserved to the hospitals or very expensive clinics and then outsource the software development to the lowest price they can get from Vietnam.
Leva all that snark for yourself.
