GTX Corp Signs Letter of Intent with GPS Care Limited to Set Up Commercial Operations through a Joint Venture in Honk Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and China


GTX Corp Signs Letter of Intent with GPS Care Limited to Set Up Commercial Operations through a Joint Venture in Honk Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and China

Los Angeles, July 11, 2012 – GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), a leader in customizable, patented 2-way GPS solutions and GPS Care Limited, headquartered in Honk Kong, recently signed a letter of intent to formulate a joint venture to set up commercial operations to sell, distribute and support the entire GTX Corp platform of GPS enabled hardware, software, connectivity and monitoring services.

Under the agreement GPS Care Limited will contribute $2 million in cash along with human resources and local infrastructure. Whereas, GTX shall make non-cash asset contributions including, licensing of Intellectual Property, technology, general know-how, human capital, contracts, sales leads; as well as the rights to sales and distribution of all GTX products and services including its flagship GPS Smart Shoe and Smartphone Apps. Initially the operating regions shall be confined exclusively to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China, however may expand to neighboring countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand upon further market analysis and final approval by GTX Corp.

Upon completion of funding GTX Corp and GPS Care Limited shall execute a definitive Joint Venture Agreement facilitating the launch of the GPS Personal Tracking technology owned by GTX Corp and its subsidiaries. GTX Corp will initially own 45% of the JV and have 2 out of the 5 board seats. It is the intention of both parties that the agreement will be completed by or before September 30, 2012; however, the parties may extend the execution date if they mutually see the need and agree to do so.

GPS Care Limited was founded by Dr. Wing Leung who received his Ph.D in Applied Physics from Stanford University and served as the President of Gemstar Technology, Inc. from 1996 to 1999. From 2000 onward he has been the President of CNLink Networks, Inc. providing Internet services for International Enterprises in China and is on the board of ANPAC Semiconductors Limited, based in Hong Kong.

GTX Corp had been exploring ways to penetrate the Asian markets for several years and even signed a Platform Test Agreement last year with a local footwear manufacturer, which after several months’ negotiations ended. “After exploring this very large market with such tremendous potential for over a year, our board felt that forming a joint venture rather than looking for a distributor, would give us more input in the process and more equity in the outcome and this would be a far more effective way to enter the Asian markets. Dr. Leung brings a core understanding of the region and proven track record in building technology companies and we look forward to working with him and his team,” stated Patrick Bertagna, Chairman and CEO of GTX Corp.

When You Travel do You Carry Your Medical Records With You?

What would happen if you or a member of your family were in a strange city or even another country and had a medical emergency?

Your personal medical records are back home in your Doctor's office in a file on a shelf. Worse yet, your Doctor's office is closed and they can only help you if the answering service can contact them right away and your Doctor can remember enough about your medications, allergies and any conditions your are being treated for to help your attending physician, or Emergency Medical Technician, with the proper course of treatment. It could be worse, if you are unconscious or incapacitated and cannot speak for yourself, the attending medical professional would not even know whom to try to contact, leaving them no option but to do their best with no pertinent information about you or your current condition.

When time is of the essence, the above scenario is unacceptable and could cost you, or a loved one, their life.

Over 100,000 people die every year from preventable medical errors. That makes this the fifth leading cause of death in the United States alone. Over 90% of those errors could have been avoided if the EMT or doctor had quick and easy access to vital information about the patient when first treated.

Emergency personnel are trained to look for Emergency Medical Information when they arrive on the scene. Unfortunately, they rarely find it.

Fortunately, you have a secure and affordable solution for you and your family that will protect you world wide.

The Code Amber Alertag is always with you and provides secure access (256 bit encryption, the same as your bank uses) to your Personal Medical Records electronically within seconds from anywhere in the world from any Internet enabled device including smart phones. Literally everything a Doctor or EMT would need to know in order to treat you or a family member at their finger tips in seconds.

Code Amber Alertag, never leave home without it.

730,000 kids die every year due to accidents

kids ages 5 to 14 get hurt more often than bikers of any other age! Among American children and adolescents, sports and recreational activities comprise about 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries. Head injury is the leading cause of wheeled sports related deaths. In fact, among children ages 0 to 14, traumatic brain injuries result in 400,000 emergency room visits every year, according to healthline.com. Thankfully, more kids are wearing helmets and carrying Code Amber Alertags.

A study by HHS’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says sports-related injuries are a major factor of kids visits to the emergency room. In 2006, 22 percent of hospital emergency department visits were for kids ages 5 to 17 due to sports-related injuries. Boys had three times more visits than girls. Teens also outnumbered younger children – teens were five times more likely to be treated in emergency departments.

When a kid arrive at the hospital having suffered a head trauma, they may be incoherent or worse unconscious. Who will answer the hospital staffs 20 questions…Allergies, preexisting conditions, blood type, medications and so on.

That is why the prepared parent has each of their children… and themselves carry the Code Amber Alertag. The unthinkable may happen and if it did you would be assured of the proper treatment because the health professions providing services were well informed.

"The lazy, hazy days of summer are a lot deadlier than parents may recognize"

So says Angela Mickalide, program director for the Washington-based group dedicated to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury.

According to Trauma Season: A National Study of the Seasonality of Unintentional Childhood Injury, the campaign's study of six years of data reveals accidents are the leading cause of death in children aged 14 and under, with kids 10 to 14 particularly vulnerable.

The study's findings confirm reports from health professionals that child injuries and deaths from drowning, falls, bike, pedestrian and motor vehicle accidents spike every summer.

There are some simple steps that you can take to prepare yourself and your family should an unintentional accident occur while having some summer fun.

Diabetes drug risks B12 deficiency

LONDON - PATIENTS treated over long periods with metformin, a common drug for diabetes, are at risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency which is also likely to get worse over time, according to a study published on Friday.

Dutch scientists who carried out the study said the findings suggest that regular checking of vitamin B-12 levels during long-term metformin treatment should be 'strongly considered' to try to prevent deficiency and its effects.

Coen Stehouwer of Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, whose study was published in the British Medical Journal, said symptoms of B12 deficiency include fatigue, mental changes, anaemia and nerve damage known as neuropathy. All these symptoms can easily be misdiagnosed as being due to diabetes and its complications, or to ageing, he said, but checking B12 levels could help doctors to assess the real cause and treat it if it was found to be B12 deficiency.

Do you need to have more confidence about the decisions you make regarding your medical care?

To get the health care you deserve take charge of your health care records and carry your medical history with you at all times. You will be an empowered patient with greatly improved the doctor patient communication and decrease the chances for medical errors.

If you have a chronic illness, take prescriptive drugs or suffer severe allergic reactions you need to inform the emergency or medical professionals treating you… tell a story that helps them help you.

Professionals generally suggest that you collect at least three generations of medical history. Relatives whose medical history has the most impact on you include your first- (children, siblings and parents) and second-degree relatives (grandchildren, nieces/nephews, aunts/uncles and grandparents).

The best place to keep that information is a Code Amber Alertag.
