BLE Streaming Mode

This mode is for real-time streaming of data to a mobile device, using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. In BLE streaming mode, the Healthypi 5 sends health data to a mobile phone or tablet via Bluetooth. To view and monitor the data on your mobile device, the OpenView 2 mobile application is required. The app connects wirelessly with the Healthypi 5 through BLE and displays the real-time health data. The OpenView 2 mobile app offers a convenient way to monitor the vitals directly on your phone or tablet. This is ideal for personal use or portable monitoring, where you don’t have access to a computer or prefer a mobile solution. BLE streaming provides the benefit of low energy consumption, allowing extended use on a mobile device without quickly draining its battery.

Hardware Required:

  • Healthypi Kit

  • USB C cable (not included with the kit, you will need to get one separately)

Steps to visualize the Healthypi 5 signals on the mobile application is as follows:

  1. Download the OpenView 2 app from the Google Play store for Android and from the Apple App Store for iOS.
