When I use my iPad or Mac, I don't even have my iPhone on me. It would be nice to log my medications in time, or see the notifications for it...

Also I want to see my data too. What if I need to order glasses or contacts? I would have to get my iPhone to just find my vision prescription.
 
This is a great suggestion- especially if you need to mail something to a doc on a desktop/laptop.

There are two reasons I don’t see it happening.

A huge selling point of the Health app is that the data stays only on the phone, like Face ID. It’s part of their privacy PR campaign. By definition, if synched with another device, it’s available to Apple and potentially others.

iPads and Macs are more often for communal use within families or households, whereas phones are pretty universally one individual’s.
