A wireless information device provides a user with context relevant information. The precise location of the wireless device is monitored by a tracking system. Using the location of the wireless device and the identity of the user, context relevant information is transmitted to the device, where the context relevant information is pre-defined, at least in part, by the user. Context relevant information served to the device depends on the identity of the user, the location of the device, and the proximity of the device to persons or objects. The wireless information device may be used by healthcare workers, such as physicians, in hospitals, although other environments are contemplated, such as hotels, airports, zoos, theme parks, and the like.
