The first type node may be wireless devices that could monitor physical parameters of a patient such as wireless oximeters. The second type node are mobile wireless communicators that are adapted to receive the data, within the transmission range, from the wireless devices. After an aggregation process, each of the node communicators broadcasts or disseminates its most up to date data onto the network. Other relay communicator nodes, within the broadcast range, would receive the up to date data. Therefore, communicators that are out of the transmitting range of a wireless device are apprized of the patient condition. Each network communicator is capable of receiving and displaying data from a plurality of wireless devices.
