Corona support for bluetooth devices (heart rate monitors)

Is there any chance to fetch the input for a BT heart rate monitor with an app developed entirely with Corona?

I’m thinking about a HR monitor like one of these:

Corona SDK doesn’t have support for direct access to bluetooth.  We support some bluetooth HID devices (like keyboards, mice and game controllers), so if they are HID compatible, they might work.  If they provide SDK’s then you could use Corona Enterprise to build apps that get data from those SDK calls.

I looked at the two devices.  The 60beats device seems to have an SDK, but you have to email them to get information on getting it.  The other one didn’t have any developer information on their website.
