One Omron BP786N review

indicates
you can email (as a simple CSV format file) data
from the iPhone.
Is there an application for doing that?
Note that the Omron BP786N uses Bluetooth LE and may not be compatible with
older BT hardware. There was Omron Open API Announcement

to be for data uploaded by your device to Omron's "cloud". OPBM

has a link to
an example of reverse engineering a BT scale. BPM also involves very small
data.
Unless the data are obfuscated, reverse engineering should be similar to
that for a
scale -- could make a nice project for a youngster.
