In this episode, Thomas Domville introduces a new feature that enables Siri to interact with and record data from the Health app for health and fitness inquiries.
Users can query Siri about their sleep duration, Activity ring progress, or blood glucose levels if they have a linked monitor. Supported queries include checking steps, heart rate, blood oxygen level, Exercise ring, Move ring, average walking heart rate, and calories burned. Furthermore, Siri can record data in the Health app, such as weight, spotting, medications taken, body temperature, period start, blood sugar, and blood pressure.
To activate this feature, users must enable “Access Health Data” in their iPhone’s Health settings or “Allow Siri Access to Health Data” on their Apple Watch.

Siri Not Answering Health Questions
I just listened to this excellent podcast. I enabled "Access Health Data" under Siri in the Health settings. However, when I ask Siri simple health questions such as "What is my heart rate?" or "How many steps did I take yesterday?", Siri responds with "I can't help you with that but you can try in the Health app".
Could this be a feature that is not available in Canada yet? If so, one would think that you would not be able to enable the "Access Health Data" in Health settings.
Is anyon else encountering this issue.
Thanks, Thomas, for all your excellent podcasts.
