Is there a way to intercept/read bluetooth data from a device to develop an app for it?

I am trying to figure out a way to make a simple app for a fitness tracker wristband called the Jawbone Up. The company sold probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of these bands, but went broke and liquidated everything. They literally took down their servers for the bands, making them 100% cerifited E-waste.

 

They are supposed to track sleep and act as a step counter, as well as give vibration for notifications and alarms. There is no way to do this, because all the information was stored on their servers, which isn't completely stupid in theory because you could switch multiple devices and have all history, but they freaking took the servers down without making the app open source or anything.

 

So I am wondering if there is a way to read the bluetooth so I can make a simple app for it. How would I go about doing this?
