Problem
NexJ's mobile health solution requires its smartphone health coach application to have the ability to read medical measurement data from Bluetooth-capable devices, The devices included in the initial project proposal are as follows: blood pressure device, glucose level measuring device and a weight measuring device.
The health coach application will be designed to use PhoneGap, a rising technology that blurs the line between mobile operating systems. Implementing native Bluetooth adapters becomes only part of the solution. The health coach application will interact with a unified API in JavaScript to retrieve data from Bluetooth-capable medical peripherals.
The unified JavaScript API will be developed to utilize PhoneGap's JavaScript API to make native code calls. These native calls will focus on a medical Bluetooth device adapter which also must be implemented. This Bluetooth adapter will be extended for each supported measuring device and implemented on each supported mobile operating system.

Branching Rules
- Nobody commits to default.
- default is the master branch we will use to generate submissions back to NexJ
- Nobody commits to dev.
- dev is the branch were the latest completed features and bug fixes come together for testing
- Keep branches relevant.
- If the focus of what your coding changes, make a new branch
- Best practice is to branch off of dev.
- Exceptional scenarios call for branching off of default or other branches, you will not encounter them
- Branch names in lowercase.
- Hyphenate branch names if required.
- bluetooth-plugin
- Branch names must either be:
- A bitbucket issue, example: issue-14 OR bug-14
- A feature name, example: cryptography-bug
