That's very cool. I wonder if sniffing the Bluetooth connection directly might be easier than reading the PDF (although not because it's easy).

At least you have more than 24 hours to find out!

I did wonder but I keep downloading to the app to “see how I am doing” Throughout the day so I would not be easily able to sniff it - and I assumed that as a highly engineered professional “medical device” it would of course be encrypted with unbreakable … oh it’s probably base64

nRF Connect for Mobile[0] could be handy here.

> "It will not connect to Apple Health"

FWIW the latest version of the app does export the previous day's averages to Apple Health (only when you open the app, mind, which can make it look like there's missing data.) I use BPExtract to read the PDF and export every reading to Apple Health but I'll definitely be giving your stuff a go as well (because automation >> manual every time.)

So this when they became a new brand (?) called Hilo.

I am not following their business but presume something is up.

Of course the format change seems to have broken the extractor so the next free lunchtime(s) I get will fix it. I assumed no one else uses it so was not in a hurry - any feedback gratefully recvd :-)

Around the same kind of time, yeah - when the app got a (not great) refresh.

I think someone just realised that "Aktiia" is a godawful name and "Hilo" (with the new actually good logo) is much better.

Will give it a run out tomorrow. Didn't even knew it existed which is to my shame.

I am not even that old, but already seeing need to take some things into my own hands. I find going to a GP is more or less just a semaphore for specialists, and those specialists have wait times measured in months to years. I would be insane to just do nothing for that timeframe.

Although I think you need to be quite critical to have such a mindset, and assume you are wrong rather than right.
