I have tried using the extension of BluetoothLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
with a pulse oximeter device and a blood pressure but the read data were is not visible.
I want to ask, if in addition to the connection with Arduino who has no problems,
some of you
managed to read the data with other tools (such as heart rate monitor wrist or other...)

thanks

There are quite a few examples of people who were successful using BLE.
Maybe you can post your blocks and tell what the API of the oximeter etc. is, such as UUID's and so on.
Cheers, Ghica.

Ghica, thanks for your answer.

I purchased  this oximeter:


the blocks for the app i got them from this discussion:



The oximeter is coupled to the smartphone
but there are no data read.

Someone managed with other pulse oximeters models
to read the data?

thanks

gius,
This has not much to do with oximeters possibly, but with your use of the API it provides,
You should study their docs. For example I found this: https://github.com/Medisana/vitadock-api/wiki/Bluetooth-Access-of-the-Devices
And some other Github stuff. It seems that they have an app that collects the data and that you can process these data from there, for which you may need an access token and for which you need to write a very different type of app. It seems though that direct access to the devices is possible, but that they will not provide support.

This is totally beyond my expertise and has not much to do with APP Inventor.
Anyway, you did not tell why you did not receive any data and what you tried. Show some blocks!
Cheers, Ghica.

Ghica,
these are the blocks that I use,
It connects but no data read,
these blocks are okay?

How did you determine what the service_UUID and the characteristic_UUID are?
If these are not right, you will not able to read anything.
And, as I said, it maybe that you need special permissions from your device.
If you use the app which I will aappend here, you can find out what the supported UUID's are for your device.
Cheers, Ghica.

Ghica,
 Thanks for your help,
I had the wrong blocks.
I
attaching the screenshoot for connection with the oximeter

You can advise me now as I can see the measurement data?
There is a tutorial where I can learn?

Thanks for everything.

There is not much. One tutorial is this: http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/blogs/karen/2016/08/heart.html
But what do you want to learn? Seach the web for BLE information, and the website of you oxiometer provider for information on the device.
Cheers, Ghica.
