It seems to me more like an alternative to medical procedures. I suppose that if we developed the ability to make new brains and load minds into them, then upload+download would come to be considered a medical procedure—but that seems rather unlikely ever to happen.
Some of it, perhaps. E.g., mind uploading surely counts as “transhumanism” but I’d be surprised to see it ever classified under “health care”.
Mind uploading might qualify if it becomes, say, an emergency medical procedure.
