Answer 1

1. Click on Policy -> App content in the Google Play Console (at the bottom of the left menu).

2. In your browser, you should have a URL like:

   https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/.../app/.../app-content/summary 
   

3. Remove summary from the URL, and paste regulated-health-apps instead.

4. You should see a form like:

5. Select the appropriate checkbox(es), save that form, and publish your app again.
