I'm sure they're also interested in the data. Imagine raising premiums based on conditions they detect from your wearables. That's why it's of utmost importance to secure biometrics data
At least in the US, health insurers can’t raise rates or deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. That was a major part of the Affordable Care Act.
The ACA will not survive the next couple of years.

how would that work. i pay flat rate through my employer.
There are so many companies across many industries who are salivating at the thought of everyone using wearables to monitor their "health" and getting their hands on that data. Including law enforcement, lawyers, and other government agencies.
It's industry leaders that are salivating the most.
