I expect Apple Health to integrate this kind of cool functionality in the future. Heck, I'm not sure why I can't have it pull my labs by connecting other applications.

You can do this by connecting to your provider already. Open Health, select the search (magnifying glass) icon, then scroll down and select "add account". If your provider is in there you can link them and see your labs in the app. With mine, the authorization to access is up to one year so it has to be renewed periodically.
If this gets good enough, you could imagine your phone periodically tracking body composition and combining it with wearables, bloodwork, glucose, etc. Suddenly some measurements that currently require a clinic and specialized equipment become essentially free and continuous.
...at the same time, giving Google/Apple photos of your body is creepy

I’m kinda surprised Apple doesn’t do something like this. I would imagine it’s a lot easier with phones with LiDAR
