This is why although I don't love my Apple Watch, I'm not using anything else. It's very sensitive data and Apple is the only company worth trusting with it. They're not perfect but compared to others there's no competition.
I was definitely interested in some sort of comprehensive sensor bundle for my healthcare. But every one of these devices demands some Android/Apple app, and shipping all my health data to basically non-HIPAA data brokers. Id be all over a local-only no-data-exfiltration health tracker. But the companies do NOT want to provide that. I, uh, guess, "go surveillance capitalism", for more choices?

In overly simple terms, if insurance is not involved, then it’s not subject to HIPAA.

Oura doesn't even have GPS does it? Government can already get ALL your celltower locations without a warrant AND read all your emails and text messages that are over 6 months old, without a warrant

Yeah there's no one I'd trust with my personal data except Apple. Their track record of refusing to bow down to the feds has been golden. 24 carat infact.
All it takes is a political sea change for E2EE to go away.
Apple already has to hand over a wealth of information when asked by the feds.

In a society where women are being prosecuted for medical procedures, menstrual data becomes very risky to have handed over.

Illinois has a tight biometric-privacy law [1]. I’d bet Oura isn’t particularly careful about prohibiting e.g. a Texas police department querying the protected information of Illinois residents.
