I can’t seem to find the health app in beta 17. Where should I be looking?

Thanks

When I installed iPadOS17, Health was already there without having to download it so it should be there.

Does anyone have any idea why they didn't target the Health app towards macOS as well? I thought the whole point of Catalyst and SwiftUI was that 3rd party apps would get into the habit of releasing for iPadOS + macOS simultaneously, I'm surprised Apple themselves don't seem to be setting the tone here. If anyone has some insight into what's going on under the hood, I'd be interested in finding out.

HIPAA regulations. Personal health data must be secured and Macs/PC don't meet the threshold for HIPAA's health data security.

I don’t think your own data under your own equipment is covered by HIPAA?

Not an expert but in a nutshell the organization that gathers and stores your health data MUST protect it. You can copy your data into a spreed sheet and post it on Facebook. However the organization that supplies the data MUST protect it and so the Health App must be confidential.
