Description Silvia Pfeiffer 2022-03-17 15:25:49 PDT
We're a telehealth software platform and are using WebRTC to set up video calls between patients and clinicians.
Recently, we've had a lot of requests by customers to include the reading of Bluetooth enabled medical devices into a live video call.
This includes pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, thermometers and more.

We're able to support this use case on desktop computers and on Android devices as the Web browsers available on these platforms support Web Bluetooth.

This is not the case for Safari on iOS and we've had to instead ask customers to install other browser such as Bluefy to support devices.

It would be great for patients everywhere if Webkit on iOS could support this use case.

Thank you for the suggestion.

As stated in https://webkit.org/status/#?search=bluetooth, this is not a feature that we are currently considering to implement.
