Apple Watch Live Heart Rate on iPadOS 17?

With the recent iPad OS 17 release, Apple added the Health app for the first time. Looking at it, it seems pretty similar to the phone version as the Health app only shows 'historical' health data.

My question is this: We are developing an iPad based fitness app. Is there any way of getting real-time health data from the Apple Watch directly to an iPad app? (basically, we just need heart rate). Or, do we have create some sort of workflow through the Phone like

Watch -> iPhone running our app -> our servers -> iPad running our app

..to get that real-time data?

We really just want Watch -> iPad running our app.

I'm afraid I already know the answer but just thought I'd check in case I'm missing something in iOS 17.

Thanks!
