I'm currently working on a Thesis project which requires my java program to keep track of a users current heart rate. Now, my problem is that i seem to be unable to find any sort of heart rate monitor which is able to connect to a java program running on a Windows PC. If anyone would have any suggestions as to any sort of heart rate monitor that could do this i would be very grateful!

I'm currently experimenting with a Polar H7 Bluetooth smart ready heart rate monitor and i'm trying to get it to connect with my PC which has a Bluetooth 4.0 adapter(Bluetooth smart) but it seems to be leading to a dead end.

Once again, thank you for any help you can provide.
