It's definitely wrong.

But it's because we won't do it. There's nothing technical or hard to make this right.

I don't believe it's hard to pick up a heart attack using a wearable. But I don't think many heart attacks are picked up with wearables.

Record everything, if something is different see a doctor should both meet this requirement and be highly beneficial.

A smartwatch will just communicate. That could be to an online database or a person.

If the intent is around privacy and no doctor or external thing is ever consulted and not recommended to be consulted. Then, yes it's decades away.
