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.

No one knows why the afflicted wander, but we know the fear of loved ones becoming lost.

Dementia is the condition that describes diminishing cognitive skills. Alzheimer’s — like Parkinson’s and vascular disease — is a sickness that causes dementia.

Today, more than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. That number is expected to grow to 20 million in the coming years, according to researchers at George Mason University. Though there is no way to be certain, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that some 60 percent of those with the disease will wander at some point.

Alzheimer’s disease kills nerve cells, hampers connectivity between neurons and damages tissue in the brain, the association reports. Eventually, the brain begins to shrivel dramatically. The cortex, home of thinking, planning and memory, shrinks. So does the hippocampus, where new memories are created. Researchers are not exactly sure why Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain the way it does. It could be the abnormal buildup — and entanglement — of proteins among nerve cells.

Scientists are also not sure why dementia often leads to roaming. But there is this sobering statistic from the Alzheimer’s Association: About 50 percent of people who wander will suffer serious injury or death if they are not found within 24 hours.

In the moderate to severe cases, the wandering pattern is random. Many patients seem to respond to circadian rhythms. At the end of the day and in the evening, there is the “sundowning” phenomenon, during which people exhibit all sorts of difficult behavior, Koester says, such as anger and stubbornness.

Occasionally, people will leave and not return — professionals call it “elopement” — and that can pose added dangers. Most people are found. It may be in a closet – at the end of a suburban street, in the mud, in thick woods, or near a lake.

GPS Shoes For Wanderers

As families and health professionals have become more aware of dementia and its patterns — and lack of patterns — they have devised various methods of dealing with wanderers.

The Alzheimer’s Association suggests making sure patients who begin to show signs of memory loss get exercise and keep their minds active. Certain drugs may slow the advance of the disease. There are practical steps to take, such as putting deadbolts on doors of homes and security devices in senior-living facilities and cutting back on the availability of liquids at night to keep patients from getting up to go to the bathroom. Certain organizations suggest dressing a wanderer in bright, reflective clothing and making sure the person is carrying identification.

As the numbers of Alzheimer’s patients grow, organizations and companies are developing potentially helpful technologies. A shoe company, Aetrex Worldwide, and a firm that makes global positioning devices, GTX Corp., have created shoes containing GPS technology for wanderers to wear.

While we may not understand “wandering” or how GPS tracking works, we can and do understand the enormous pressure caregivers are under and the peace of mind that a device that can locate loved ones is a solution for a problem that is not going to go away.

The Loons are back on Golden Pond.

Ernest Thompson, wrote the original stage play of On Golden Pond and adapted it for the Mark Rydell 1981 film. Henry Fonda, in his last role, plays a prickly English professor; Norman Thayer, at the disagreeable age of 80. Visiting his summer house by a lake, Norman suffers the disorienting effects of dementia getting lost in a strawberry patch mere feet from his front door.

Its been thirty-years since the movie was screened and we barely know much more about dementia than we did then. No cure has been found and treatments have proven to be only mildly helpful as the condition is aggressively progressive ultimately rendering the victims lost within themselves.

Dementia may take many forms – more than seventy – and its effects can be felt at any age. The symptoms and behaviors of the various forms of the illness progress over long spans – often twenty years or more – placing ever greater demands on family caregivers of which there are more than fifteen million today in the US alone.

What we do know of dementia is that the aging boomer generation population will force the number of the afflicted and their demands for support to balloon to staggering proportions. The toll of the epidemic for the nation, their caregivers and the demented will overwhelm the systems and services in place today.

Sundowning is a tragic aspect of dementia. As the day moves to night something misfires in the minds of the victims and they become disoriented often eloping from facilities, or while out and about and yes even picking strawberries. The problem is that they cannot find their way home.
As night approaches they become invisible and often succumb to the elements before they are found less than a thousand feet from home.

Locating the lost has been a mission for GPS technology company; GTX Corp GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO) and its CEO Patrick Bertagna for years. This month though that mission will be completed with the retail availability of a discreet 2-way GPS device embedded within a comfort shoe GPS Shoe technology manufactured by Aetrex Worldwide and supported by MedicAlert www.medicalert.org and Onmilink Systems www.omnilink.com to provide secure, real-time, location based services to caregivers offering them peace of mind and the afflicted with a better quality of life as they will not need to be confined to protect them from their debilities.

Some may see this service as an invasion of privacy. We see it as life-saving search and rescue. Ask yourself, if it was your parent and you had the shoes would you tie the laces.

There is no forgetting Alzheimer's

We are the sum of our memories… remembrances tucked neatly into three pound cerebral packages as fragile as a potato chip with one hundred trillion incomprehensible pathways taken completely for granted until it malfunctions.
Alzheimer’s afflicts the brains of five million Americans today, but by 2050 this 21st century plague will take 15 million mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Worse still, this disease victimizes many for every brain it actually infects – sucking the life from families and care givers.
The estimated monetary cost of $700 billion will pale by comparison to the loss of productivity and intellectual wealth which will diminish our civilization imprisoning the memories of a generation in a crib of cerebral plaque.
The progression of Alzheimer’s will cause one of every four victims to wander…
If not found quickly, they will succumb to the elements, accidents or attacks. Searching for them…hundreds of thousands of them at a time…will precipitate the collapse of our municipal and health support systems.
One possible solution is incarceration, another is sedative drugs, but one other provides care givers with the ability to manage their charges whereabouts by tracking their locations in real time with a miniaturized GPS transceiver sending signals to computers, cell phones or mobile devices… a personal location service.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

Alzheimer’s is still a disease that is routinely diagnosed only after death and autopsy. Then, it is easy to recognize the disease’s cardinal features: a shrunken brain dotted with amyloid plaques interspersed among neurons containing tangled fibrils, which may also contain inclusions similar to those found in the brains of Parkinson’s patients.

Between the first signs of cognitive dysfunction and the eventuality of the disease decades can pass placing caregivers under interminable pressure to maintain the wellness and quality of life of the afflicted… as well as their own.

During the progression of the disease many will succumb to eloping or wandering from their caregivers. Tracking their whereabouts has proved to be difficult at best with many succumbing to the elements before they are retrieved.

GTX Corp in partnership with Aetrex Worldwide has developed and will shortly be selling a sport shoe with an embedded 2-way GPS transceiver enabling real time pin-point location, bearing and speed on any web enabled platform. While we look for a cure, we should not have to look for our loved ones… so if the shoe fits get some peace of mind.

Knowing where to find 'what' makes 'who' quite valuable.

While nearly everyone knows that GPS is an acronymn for Global Positioning Satellites, few understand how many different applications of the technology there are beyond the dash board navigation systems or the GPS enabled cell phones for which we have become so fond.

Tracking people, vehicles and valuables can be enabled by palm-sized portable devices like the gpVector miniMT that allow enterprises to provide security and recovery services that are invaluable to subscribing clients. As the marketplace learns of these applications the growth of GPS service bureaus will spread around the world.

For the small business or the multinational corporation, monitoring has become an intrinsic touch point governing all end to end business practices. This tremendous cost saving advantage can be uniquely customized to accommodate any requirement.

Knowledge is more than a tool. It is a solution.

Alzheimer's Patients Who Wander away from their homes

Here’s a shocking statistic we found on www.gpsshoe.com 60% of Alzheimer’s patients wander away from their homes or care facilities at some point. Half of those who aren’t found within 24 hours end up severely injured or dead. Here’s another shocker: By the year 2050, there will be 16 million adults with Alzheimer’s in the U.S. alone. Which means 3 million mothers, fathers, siblings, neighbors, grandparents, and friends could go missing.

According to Professor Andrew Carle, it’s actually harder to find a missing senior citizen than a missing child. Why? Because when a child’s all alone, it seems odd, so passersby pay attention. However, adults with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or schizophrenia often look normal, and may simply be overlooked. Edward Rochford, the sheriff of Morris County, New Jersey, says that even with 50 rescue workers searching, it can take more than eight hours to find a missing person. Which is way too long for a senior citizen who may be frail, disoriented, or need medication.
