Yep! I have the Evolv, and I use the third-party MedM BP apps[1][2] to sync the readings from the device via bluetooth to my phone (and HealthKit). No first-party app needed.

Thanks! The smartwatch-like thingie looks nice, albeit pricey as hell. Think I'll go with one of the bigger devices for now.
