After upgrading to the fourth beta, the Health app has a popup that says the new app features will come in a future update. Data collected during the beta remains available in the Settings app.
Apple is planning to release iOS 27.2 later in October, and the removal of the Health app suggests a launch is getting closer. The HomePod mini 2 that launches on October 30 uses HomePod software 27.2, so the updates will need to come out before that date.

Apple today seeded the release candidate of an upcoming iOS 27.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming a week after Apple released the fourth iOS 27.2 beta. Apple also seeded the iPadOS 27.2 RC.
Registered developers can download the beta updates by opting in under Settings > General > Software Update and selecting the iOS 27 developer beta.

What is up with Apple and their obsession with announcing new features that aren't ever released for months or years after the keynote? Like why is this a thing now?
I guess people don’t pay attention. Apple said from the beginning that the new health app will be in 27.2 betas, but wouldn’t make the public release. The public release is very soon with the new home products coming out.
Bad day for Apple; HomeView seems a bit pointless and overpriced for what it is, with the wall-mounted version being more expensive than the tabletop version despite losing the base, as you need the wall-mounted accessory on top.
The 4th Gen Apple TV 4K is ridiculously overpriced, again not taking into account the price hike of the old model, which is now almost double the cost.
If you don't take into account the old HomePod Mini price hike earlier this year as well, the HomePod Mini 2 is now 50% more expensive.
And for the icing on the cake, Apple removed the new health app while it was still in beta and turned the Music app black and white. What the hell is Apple doing?

True, yes, but you'd think they'd keep it in for more testing until 27.2 hits RC and then pull it before release.
