Added in Unicode 13.0 (2020) alongside 🫁, it was among the first emoji to realistically depict internal human organs.

Always rooting for you 🫀
Wait… should I see a cardiologist? 😂
Because 🫀 works in both medical and emotional contexts, 'I care about you deeply' can easily read as 'get your heart checked.'
