Provisional Patents

Sitting on a couple of waitlists and want to send updates soon. I've been working on an engineering project for the past year and am in the middle of applying for a provisional (utility) patent for a medical device. I understand that, if granted, this obviously isn't as significant as a non-provisional patent. But would it still be worth including on an update letter? Have seen mixed opinions (comparing them to submitted papers vs accepted ones) in previous year threads.
