BLE framework developed to establish wireless communication between low energy (LE) devices with a smartphone. The LE device could produce health vital signs as a fruitful data source for further analytic process. However, sending continuous data is not recommended due to limited power and computation resources on the smartphone. Thus, the BLE framework for desktop applications was developed. Nevertheless, compatibility becomes an issue in the developing system which interacts with LE devices. This study conducted an evaluation and experiment with existing BLE frameworks which are Core Bluetooth and PyGATT. Two programs that represent each BLE framework was developed and Polar H10 used as an LE sensor device. Evaluation of this experiment done by observing parameters such as compatibility of software and hardware, sensor data, connection mechanism, and reachable range communication.
