How to send int16t_t data via BLE

Hi i am trying to modify the GATT clock ble example to be able to send int16_t data - [−32768, +32767] the data is from max30003 ECG AFE.
server.write and GattCharacteristic constructor does not support this change

		#include "ble/GattClient.h"
		#include "ble/GapAdvertisingParams.h"
		#include "ble/GapAdvertisingData.h"
		#include "ble/GattServer.h"
		#include "BLEProcess.h"

		using mbed::callback;

You need to send byte by byte. Try breaking up your int16_t and store them in a uint8_t array. Then, pass the array to your function specifying the size. And reconstruct int16_t on the receiver side.
