1. A system for medics to collect information from one or more patients, the system comprising: one or more sensors coupled to a first patient, wherein the first patient sensors automatically collect patient information for the first patient; one or more sensors coupled to a second patient, wherein the second patient sensors automatically collect patient information for the second patient; a first personal area network (PAN) coupled to a first medic; a second PAN coupled to a second medic, wherein the first and second PANs each include a plurality of components as nodes, wherein the system is configured to, in response to the first medic approaching the first patient: automatically establish a connection between the first PAN and the first patient sensors; automatically transfer, to the first PAN, first patient information collected by the first patient sensors since a previous connection was established between the first PAN and the first patient sensors; and store the first patient information within the first PAN; wherein the system is configured to, in response to the first medic moving away from the first patient and approaching the second patient: automatically drop the connection between the first PAN and the first patient sensors; automatically establish a connection between the first PAN and the second patient sensors; automatically transfer, to the first PAN, second patient information collected by the second patient sensor since a previous connection was established between the first PAN and the second patient sensors; and store the second patient information within the first PAN; and wherein the system is configured to, in response to the first medic approaching the second medic: automatically establish a peer network between the first PAN and the second PAN; and automatically transmit the patient information stored in the first PAN to the second PAN.
