Heart rate sensor support

I guess it's a weird request, but I still want to try: Would it be possible to add support for heart rate sensors? I use Racechrono on my enduro/MX bike and on my kart. I am 40+ years of age and in both sports my fysical fitness becomes the bottleneck after some laps.

With the support for Bluetooth 4 heart rate sensors in Android I was thinking of buying one. But... could you build in the necessary functionality?

    Hi Maurice, it is a good idea. Added to my list. Wondering which HRM sensor to support, there is quite many?

    I have not looked at standards yet, but looking at the market, BLE (Bluetooth 4.0) seems the way to go.

    BTW: I bought a cheap Samsung phone with claimed Bluetooth 4.0 support to already test/pilot what's on the market in cycling apps. But BLE requires Android 4.3 and up, and Samsung does not provide an updated ROM to support it.
    Dirty marketeers!

    Our company is building heart rate monitor chest straps and I'd say BLE is definitely a way to go here. I'd like to see this feature as well. There's a standard profile on BT 4.0 for HR. Should be pretty straightforward to implement on Android with BLE.

    Any news or progress on that subject? Actually i use the SWR12 from Sony and the Polar H7.
