Claim:
1. A physiological monitoring system comprising: a biometric sensor device coupled to a first garment worn by a user, the biometric sensor device including a transmitter configured to transmit physiological data of the user, wherein the biometric sensor device includes a heart rate sensor and the physiological data includes heart rate data; a first handheld computing device configured for wireless communication with the biometric sensor device according to a communication protocol in a device network, the first handheld computing device configured to act as a master in the device network and the biometric sensor configured to act as a slave in the device network, the first handheld computing device configured to receive transmitted physiological data from the biometric sensor device and display the physiological data on a first user interface; and a second handheld computing device configured for wireless communication with both the biometric sensor device and the first handheld computing device according to the communications protocol in the device network, the second handheld computing device configured to act as a slave to the first handheld computing device when the first handheld computing device is present in the device network, and the second handheld computing device configured to act as a master to the biometric sensor device when the first handheld computing device is not present in the device network, the second handheld configured to display the physiological data on a second user interface, wherein the first handheld computing device is configured to determine whether the heart rate data is inaccurate, and if the heart rate data is determined to be inaccurate, deliver a message that the monitoring system is having difficulty collecting heart rate information and provide instructions for adjustment of the heart rate sensor; and wherein the second handheld computing device is configured to both (i) advertise itself as a slave in the device network for control by an available master in the device network, and (ii) search for available slaves in the device network for which the second handheld computing device will act as a master in the device network when operating in a search mode.
