  1. The standardised Heart Rate service is 0x180D and the characteristic is 0x2A37, so you need to read data off this.
  2. The heart rate value is usually exposed over 1 byte only (because values 0-255 covers the range of heart rate values in beat per minute (bpm). If you want to read other values exposed by the device then the document that Michael Kotzjan shared is useful in deducting what the byte array values mean.
