Probably not even a data breach. A user's friend/relative who is a lawyer or works in health care or know someone who does will see the app and inmediately begin proceedings for a lawsuit. Once it is under the eye of the state, OP will be in big legal trouble. Building apps is cool but any app that uses critical stuff like real world infrastructure or personal data needs careful treading

Why? What's in it for them?
I'm not saying this can't happen, I'm just not sure I understand why you think it's so likely to happen.
Damages? The potential payout is enormous.
An enormous payout from a guy who built an app as a side project? Ok, you could push the guy into bankruptcy, but I doubt that you will ever see an "enormous payout"...
Yeah but, how can there be damages without a breach?
