1. A method of point-to-point wireless communication between a first wireless communication device, the first wireless communication device configured as a wearable medical device and a second wireless communication device, the method comprising:
determining a distance between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device by a ranging measurement;
in response to the distance being less than a distance threshold value, transmitting data of a first set of data from the first wireless communication device to the second wireless communication device; and
in response to the distance being greater than the distance threshold value, transmitting data of a second set of data from the first wireless communication device to the second wireless communication device;
wherein the first wireless communication device includes a physiological sensor configured to be worn by a person;
wherein the first set of data is a set of physiological sensor data collected by the physiological sensor from the person;
wherein the second set of data includes notifications or alerts based on the set of physiological sensor data;
wherein the first wireless communication device comprises a processing unit and a memory configured to store physiological sensor data for compiling by the processing unit for transmission, and wherein the method further comprises:
determining an amount of available memory space; and
in response to amount of available memory space being less than a first memory threshold value and the distance being greater than or equal to the threshold value, performing at least one of: transmitting the second set of data from the first wireless communication device to the second wireless communication device; generating an audible alert; and
generating a haptic alert.
