mbed_official 1:72c60abef7e7 1 # BLE Heart Rate Monitor
mbed_official 1:72c60abef7e7 2
mbed_official 1:72c60abef7e7 3 This application transmits a heart rate value using the [Bluetooth SIG Heart Rate Profile](https://developer.bluetooth.org/TechnologyOverview/Pages/HRP.aspx). The heart rate value is provided by the application itself, not by a sensor, so that you don't have to get a sensor just to run the example.

mbed_official 1:72c60abef7e7 5 Technical details are better presented [in the mbed Classic equivalent of this example](https://developer.mbed.org/teams/Bluetooth-Low-Energy/code/BLE_HeartRate/).
