With starting point in a project called the HealthyWay project, this report explores how one can create bluetooth low energy applications on a nRF51822 MCU. The nRF51822 is the heart of an embedded system designed to measure ECG signals, breathing and coughing in order to send this information through bluetooth to a smartphone. How to use bluetooth low energy is subject to research and the results are a main application as well as a collection of so services used for communication between bluetooth units. Additionally a library for communicating through SPI with a ADS1292R ECG chip is produced. Finally some ideas for future applications of the results are presented.
