Re:Menstruation Apps Are Sharing Users' Data by nosianu on Tuesday September 10, 2019 @03:55AM (#20925994)
Strange/stretched comparison. Menstruation is all about the cycle. Even as a man one would/should know because the basic methods of avoiding pregnancy when having sex should be of interest to men too. Because of the importance of that cycle its also indicative for a woman's health in general (lots of hormonal changes within the cycle; regular blood loss too).

Heart attacks are just point-events on the other hand, they happen and that's that. So knowing full well what a menstruation app is useful for one would still not understand what a similar app for heart attacks could possibly even mean. Calculate your heart attack window? That would be something new indeed, so you are right not to see the point. Just as there is no point in using heart attacks to understand the menstruation cycle.
