HHS FAQs Make Clear that Most Healthcare, Fitness Tracker, and Wellness Apps Are Not Covered by HIPAA
Dickinson Wright PLLC 
[Guidance Overview] May 8, 2019
"[M]ost people assume that HIPAA protects health information from disclosure or at least provides some higher level of security over health information. However, HIPAA is narrower than most people believe... HHS's FAQs [are] specific to transactions between a patient, a healthcare provider, and the healthcare provider recommending a course of treatment that includes transmitting healthcare information to an app.... The key takeaway here is that app users bear the bulk of responsibility when they choose to input their personal health or other information into apps."
