Pacemakers at least should be a non-issue since the law specifically exempts devices where continuous power is required for the safety of the user. I think an unpowered pacemaker would definitely jeopardize ones safety. But yeah my mind also immediately went to very small devices like hearing aids.

Maybe this is why Apple is focusing so much on health sensors. It's a bit of a stretch but it could be argued that Apple's fall detection and heart rate monitoring is required for the safety of the user.
