11. A wireless network having a plurality of nodes for disseminating information of a patient, comprising:

  • at least one first type node adapted to be associated with the patient for monitoring physical attributes of the patient, said first type node including a detector that detects at least one physical attribute of the patient and a transmitter that transmits the detected physical attribute as patient data out to the network;

    a plurality of mobile second type nodes not directly associated with the patient adapted to receive signals and/or data from said first type node when moved to within broadcast range of said first type node, each of said second type nodes further adapted to receive signals and/or data from other second type nodes and to broadcast signals and/or data out to the network;

    wherein when one of said second type nodes moves to within the broadcast range of said first type node, it receives the patient data output from said first type node; and

    wherein said one second type node thereafter broadcasts the received patient data out to the network so that any other second type node located within broadcast range of said one second type node could receive the patient data output by said first type node.
