Blood oxygen and ECG apps not available on non-iPhone Apple Watch series 8

I have two identical Apple Watch series 8s paired to my phone. One is mine and one is my partner’s. He doesn’t have an iPhone so his watch is paired to my iPhone. Why doesn't he have the blood oxygen, nor the ECG apps, but I do?
