It's not invasive generally speaking. My healthcare provider allows me to access e-perscriptions via the app. But for that there are certain security requirements which this particular Healthcare provider equated to "Android good, GOS bad"

Why can't the prescription be sent to email or collected on a website? I don't see why an "app," especially one signed by Google is necessary for something like this. It wouldn't surprise me if the app requested location or sensor access in order to provide a "personalized experience."
