GPS Shoes Expand into Canada

Posted on January 16, 2013 by admin Comments Off

Safe Tracks GPS Solutions, Inc. signs Distribution Agreement with GTX Corp and Aetrex Worldwide

Los Angeles, January 16, 2013 – GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), a leader in customizable, patented 2-way GPS solutions, has announced today that its award winning, patented GPS tracking “Smart Shoe” will be commercially available in Canada this month.   The Shoes, known as the “Aetrex Navistar ™ GPS Shoes,” currently made under license by Aetrex Worldwide,  Inc. (“Aetrex”), a global manufacturer and leader in comfort footwear, will be distributed by Safe Tracks GPS Solutions, Inc. (“Safe Tracks”),  a GPS electronic monitoring and safety solution provider throughout Canada.

The Aetrex Navistar™ GPS Shoes, powered by GTX Corp, go on sale in Canada this month through Safe Track’s e-commerce Website, www.safetracksgps.ca. Further, Canada’s largest GSM cell phone provider, with over 9.2 million users servicing 95% of Canada’s population, will be the Canadian wireless provider for the GPS Shoes.

“We have been following the development of the GPS Smart Shoes and GTX since their U.S. launch last year. Combining the Smart Shoe with our easy-to-use, web-based software solution, will give end users an experience previously unavailable in the Canadian Marketplace. Safe Tracks is proud to offer this new solution to Canadians, especially for the Alzheimer’s and Dementia demographics,” stated Bob Aloisio Director of Business Development at Safe Tracks.

According to the Alzheimer’s Society in Toronto, an estimated 500,000 Canadians have Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia condition, and within a generation, that number will more than double, ranging between 1 and 1.3 million people. The impact of Alzheimer’s and related dementias involves the sufferer’s entire family, and thus affects far more than the half million people who have been actually diagnosed with the disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the second most feared disease for Canadians as they age.

The patented GTX Corp technology in the Aetrex Navistar ™ GPS Shoes enable  wearers to be monitored remotely, there by helping to ensure their safety, providing peace of mind to their caregivers, and reducing the cost of more frequent human oversight. The GPS Shoes are embedded with a miniaturized proprietary module, which contains the locator’s integrated GPS / Cellular chipset and the SIM card that is unique to each wearer. The GPS Shoes will communicate via Roger’s Canada cellular network, and send location coordinates via a wireless data connection, similar to sending SMS messages on a cell phone. If the wearer of the GPS Shoes wanders outside of a pre-set location determined by the caregiver, an SMS or e -mail message will alert the caregiver instantly.

The GPS Shoes have been heralded by healthcare and technology authorities around the world, and are featured in the “100 Most Important Inventions of Mankind” exhibit in the National Museum of Science and Technology in Sweden.

“The GPS Shoes are a simple solution to a growing problem. Other devices are either too complicated or tend to be rejected by the Alzheimer’s and Dementia sufferers, but the Aetrex Navistar GPS Shoes have proven to be a more friendly and reliable means of keeping track of those who wander. As a result, Alzheimer’s sufferers who wear the Shoes are receiving better care and enjoying a more flexible lifestyle, while the cost of supervision they require is reduced,” stated Andrew Duncan, GTX Corp’s head of International licensing.

Over 10,000 Kern County Alzheimers Caregivers May Have Peace of Mind

Posted on December 6, 2012 by admin Comments Off

About 10,000 people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia in Kern County. Many are being cared for by family members in the home.

Wandering can be a very big problem and a fear that keeps some caregivers awake at night.

Once a caregiver realizes their loved one is missing, they can go online, track the person’s path and pinpoint their location.

“It sets “bread crumbs,” which allows you to view the path that the Alzheimer’s person has taken, so you can follow that path, right to where they are,”

Millions of people impacted by Alzheimers – GTX Corp develops solution for as little as $1 a day

Posted on October 6, 2012 by admin Comments Off
GPS SHOE

GPS Shoe keeps Alzheimer's within reach

The latest data from the Alzheimer’s Association show that 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. By 2030, that number is anticipated to be 8 million — if no medical cure is found — the number of afflicted boomers is expected to grow beyond 20 million by 2050. In addition to the enormous personal and financial impact on the their caregivers, local search and recovery through law enforcement and first responders will be financially impacted as well, due to nearly sixty percent of dementia victims who will wander or get lost at least once and if not found within a day, up to half will be found dead or seriously harmed.

GTX Corp has developed a patented monitoring communications solution that will effectively address the wandering behavior of people suffering from cognitive disorders. It is a personal assisted GPS location based device embedded in footwear, that will allow the caregiver to locate their charge immediately, without a third party and helping to limit the physical health risks, personal stresses and potential financial impact associated with wandering search and recovery.

Why GPS Shoes are the Ideal Solution for Wanderers

Posted on June 15, 2012 by admin Comments Off

The Aetrex GPS Shoes, powered by GTX Corp, feature the latest GPS tracking technology embedded in the base of the right heel, providing real-time tracking. At frequent and specific time intervals, the GPS tracking device sends a signal to the central monitoring station determining the wearer’s exact location and relays that information to a tracking website for you to view (contingent upon enrollment in a separate monthly tracking plan).

The premise of the technology is based on alerting you when your loved one has wandered off too far from a preset location, allowing you to set up a geographic boundary known as a “geozone”. When the individual wanders off and leaves the preset geozone, you are quickly notified via an email or SMS text to your mobile phone. The service also provides emergency tracking in case you need to locate a loved one immediately.

That whoosh is the sound of joy leaving a care giver of an Autism or Alzheimer’s victim.

Posted on May 23, 2012 by admin Comments Off

Dementia robs more than the memories of its victims. It shrivels their health and the very purpose of life leaving the afflicted and their care givers joyless. Just looking at someone with advanced dementia is positively heart breaking. If you are a parent the thought of the current Autism odds –1 in 88 births – are numbers that will scare you until you are happy grandparents. If you are approaching your senior years you worry every time you forget something. But what you might not appreciate is that your children are petrified that you might become demented and they would have to assume the role of care givers…a responsibility that will in all probability rob them of their health and any joy in their lives.

Many thousands of us are working tirelessly to find a treatment and cure for dementia, but until then those providing care need our attention. More than half of the demented will bolt, wander or elope from familiar surroundings for no apparent reason – If not found quickly more than half will die. The afflicted survivors will repeat their behavior over and again.

Peace of mind is not something we truly appreciate until it has been taken from us. Being able to locate a wanderer in a minute can trade fear for peace and at only $300 the device that can return a bit of joy to a life could be called a bargain. Walking shoes, discretely embedded with a 2-way GPS device with smartphone access is today’s solution.  A cure is down the road, but the Navigator tracking shoe from Aetrex has a real-time value …as we take this journey one day at a time.

Los Angeles Based GTX Corporation Granted Patent to Keep Autistic Children Safe

Posted on May 21, 2012 by admin Comments Off

May 16, 2012 – Los Angeles – In a partnership with Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), Los Angeles-based GTX Corp. has been granted a utility patent that will focus on GPS tracking location based solutions aimed at aiding families living with autism. TACA is a non-profit organization which provides valuable information and resources to parents whose children have been diagnosed with autism.

As the leader in customizable, two-way GPS tracking technology, GTX will be bolstering its growing intellectual property platform that includes 11 issued patents and 5 pending patents. Its new patent titled “System and Method for Communication with a Tracking Device” covers many vital communications with its processes that are currently being used every day by the company’s licensed partners and consumers, which will give GTX increased market share in the growing $13 billion location based services industry.

“With our award winning multi-patented GPS Smart Shoe and patent-pending Alertag, we have been at the forefront of connective health for years, providing new levels of functional oversight, security and peace of mind to a variety of audiences and needs,” stated Patrick Bertagna, CEO of GTX Corp. “We look forward to developing and bringing to market new, innovative products that both satisfy the ever-increasing consumer demand for location based solutions and that will help support the families challenged with a special needs child.”

The patent has thirty claims, including two independent claims. One of the independent claims involves a tracking device with remotely configurable settings and the other independent claim relates to a method of communicating configuration data to a tracking device. This patented technology will provide extra safety and security to individuals afflicted with autism. Recent research has shown that forty-eight percent of autistic children wander from their homes, making them more prone to injury, death, and other safety issues.

The technological innovation covered by the new patent, along with the partnership between GTX and TACA, will enhance the level of healthcare and safety that is becoming integrated into our phones, homes, and even our clothing with the convergence of digital and medical tracking technologies.

In addition to providing technology to keep developmentally disabled children safe, GTX Corp. also develops miniaturized GPS tracking technology for a wide variety of consumer branded products. Founded in 2002, the company is well-known for its patented GPS shoe, a smart shoe that includes a smartphone GPS tracking feature.
