Can you develop an app for the Microsoft band, without a corresponding mobile app always being connected?

I have several Microsoft bands, to be used as part of a group health initiative. I intend to develop a single app on a tablet which will pull the data from the bands. This will be a manual process, there will not be a constant connection to the tablet and no connection to Microsoft Health.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks Emma

The general answer is no: Historical sensor values are not stored or buffered on the Band itself.

It does however depend on what sensors you are interested in. The sensor values are not buffered, so you can only read the current (realtime) value of the sensors. But sensors such as pedometer and distance are incrementing over time, so these values will make sense even though you are only connected once in a while. Whereas for, e.g., the heart rate and skin temperature, you will only get the current (realtime) value.

So it depends on your use case.
