what kind of health data do they record on the fly?

waking/motion data would probably be the most accurate and main focus. They can also monitpr sleep patterns. Sometimes even heart rate.

Again, you have to take a manual reading. They can't just monitor it.
Also walking data, they can do with non smart phones too.
