Do you know what the Most Innovative Location Device is?
No it's not a compass or an astrolabe. It's not semaphore or a smoke signal. Not an RFID tag or a
neon sign or phosphorous flare either.
Give up?
It's the GPS Smart ShoeTM recently mentioned in Forbes Magazine, developed by GTX Corp
(OTCBB: GTX0.0B) and licensed to Aetrex Worldwide. Yes, a shoe. .well a very smart shoe as
it can tell a caregiver the precise location, bearing, history, speed and altitude of an Alzheimer's
victim that has eloped or wandered. No small feat — pun intended — to reduce the overwhelming
stress on the millions of victim caregivers while potentially saving thousands from injuries and
death owing to exposure, accidents and criminal activity. The GPS Shoe also reduces the
manpower drain on municipal services; fire, police and welfare agencies often enlisted to locate
the mentally ill.
While a Finalist in the Most Innovative Location Device category of the Locations & Beyond
Summit and the People's Choice Awards is a wonderful acknowledgment for the years GTXO
invested in developing the solution and the promise that Aetrex has made in bringing the Shoe to
market... the real winners are those touched by this devastating disease for which there is no cure,
but now have a new measure of hope.

Keeping an eye on Mom and Dad
Remote monitoring technology aims to keep seniors in their houses and out of nursing homes ____
Over the coming months a raft of new-and-improved remote monitoring devices will hit the _____
market, from GPS shoes that can track the whereabouts of wandering seniors to MedCottages,
portable RV-like units equipped with motion and monitoring systems that allow seniors to
maintain some independence from the backyard of their adult childrens' homes.
"As we age, this is going to be a growing trend," says Laurie Orlov, a Florida-based expert on so-
called "aging-in-place technology" aimed at keeping seniors in their houses and out of nursing
homes as long as possible.
"We have to get past the fear and antagonism among the older people who need it the most. I don't
think they're that technology-ready, but the boomers, who are their adult children, certainly are."
Motion sensors strategically placed in the three-bedroom home where Howe has lived for 53 years
feed information right to her daughter's laptop, detailing when she got out of bed (the Friday we
chatted it was 9 a.m.), walked into the bathroom (9:15 a.m.) or hovered at the kitchen table where
she keeps her pills (9:30 a.m.)
Even her blood-pressure reading (165/76) is fed to her daughter's computer, along with her daily
weigh-in tally, providing a detailed graph which she often takes to her doctor appointments.
The only thing GrandCare can't tell Pierce, because her system doesn't include cameras, is if her
mother actually swallowed her pills.
Monitoring and in-home help technologies will be a $20 billion U.S. business in North America by
2020, predicts Orlov, founder of Aging In Place Technology Watch.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 018132Already some baby boomers are able to remotely lock their parents' doors, track calls coming into
their homes and even see who is ringing the doorbell, in many cases right from their smart phones.
Systems such as QuietCare, WellAWARE, FineThanx and SimplyHome are already fixtures in
some U.S. homes and seniors' communities, although Orlov estimates fewer than 10,000 units are
in active use because the systems can be so costly.
Next month, Paul Whyte, a Markham dealer of smart-home technology that allows ordinary
electronics and appliances to communicate with each other, will unveil the GrandCare system at
the Zoomer show in Toronto.
"I call it the invisible caregiver," says Whyte of Cybernetics Systems Inc. "The minute I saw this
system I thought, 'There's something that actually makes sense.'
The key, of course, with all these technologies is that the senior be relatively able-bodied and
sound of mind — most are of limited value if the senior is suffering from dementia, which is
expected to become a major public health issue in the next few decades.
But developers are also working hard on that challenging front.
Sometime later this fall or next spring the first GPS-equipped shoe, the Aetrex Ambulator, will go
on sale through www.gpsshoe.com orwww.foot.com.
Originally designed for children by Los Angeles-based GTX Corp., the new shoes are expected to
retail for about $250 U.S. They enable caregivers to track those afflicted with dementia or
Alzheimer's thanks to GPS and cellular technology that will relay their whereabouts back to a
monitoring centre.
"Privacy may be a talking point, but it's not really an issue," says Patrick Bertagna, chairman and
CEO of GTX Corp.
MEDCottage creator Dupin expects concerns around privacy will fade quickly as families and
health-care systems here and in the U.S. become overwhelmed by aging baby boomers — more
than 76 million in the U.S., 10 million in Canada — who start hitting 65 next year.
"I see remote monitoring becoming an integral part of health care as we all age," says Dupin. "One
of the issues around aging in place is going to be making trade-offs. Privacy may be something we
have to give up."

Android phones, said GTX Chief Executive Patrick Bertagna.
The LociMobile tracking applications send a GPS signal out to all of a person's cell phone

on kids.
GTX has also developed a GPS shoe for tracking Alzheimer's patients.

Kirk Johnson - NYTimes.com - May 4, 2010 - One Alzheimer's wanderer in Arizona had lost

beloved baseball cap on his head. So a trick the family used to keep the man around was to hide
his caps.
Search-and-rescue experts who deal with dementia patients also recommend alarms on doors that
sound when opened if a proper code is not entered, along with posters or wallpaper images that
disguise or conceal doors. Sometimes a simple large, emphatic sign on every door saying "Stop!"
will deter a wanderer.

World Market Media - April 9, 2010 - Every Portfolio manager I've
ever known loves to find a sector with wind at it's back..the early
users of the "CrackBerry" knew (Nasdaq: RIMM) was the stock
he/she needed to invest in because every person on Wall Street had
one. This phenomena doesn't occur often and RIMM"s are as rare as
Australopithecus. I observe the current app craze as the new cycle for
lightning quick revenues based on the size of the market itself.
Certainly anyone with an iPhone or Android phone has imagined that
they could build an app when they got home that night. .1 know I
did.
I can tell you from experience that when Kleiner Perkins doubles the size of its venture fund
specific to app's you know your watching the ship turning in the harbor. This is a unique space
with wind at it's back and certainly the app's market is a niche to watch, we found this company
and had a chance to speak with Patrick Bertagna at GTX Corp (OTCBB:GTX0) its Founder/
Chairman and CEO. He had some interesting comments about how the company has evolved and
found some traction with its wholly owned subsidiary LOCiMOBILE Inc. Bertagna commented
"With 500 million smart phones entering the market place, I believe we are at the tip of the next
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 018137disruptive wave. Apps will become as ubiquitous as the device they live on and that makes this
new frontier a game changer" Certainly being on the iTunes top ten highest grossing list puts us at

Kids Sneakers That Know Where They Are
Castro Valley Forum - CA, USA - By : Michael Singer: 10/16/07
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 018144There is a trend in high-tech that recommends adding location-based services to anything and
everything. But it has me pulled between wanting to see really cool gadgets and avoiding a Big
Brother-like society.
The latest is a new high-tech tennis shoe coming to the market that lets parents and guardians track
the movements of their family using Global Positioning Systems or GPS technology.
Called the "Smart Shoe," the miniature device is inserted in the sole of the low-top sneaker. An
antenna that runs up the back of the footwear communicates with satellites and relays a location
back to a subscription Web site service for easy viewing. Los Angeles-based GTXC, which makes
the devices and the service, said it is hoping to put Smart Shoes in stores by the end of the year.
Shoes with the technology could cost between $100 and $200. The tracking service is expected to
cost about $20 a month.
Follow That Kid
Today's technology makes it easier for parents to know where their kids are and what they're
doing.
By Joe Burris 1Baltimore Sun July 1, 2007
Michelle Smith had been reluctant to buy a cell phone for her 7-year-old daughter, Daysha. Then
one day in April, a substitute teacher placed the Radford, Va., girl on the wrong school bus.
Instead of being dropped off at her older sister's after-school program as planned, Daysha was sent
home - only to find the doors locked.
As she sat on her front porch crying, her mother drove around town, searching frantically for the
girl. No one at the school could tell her which bus the girl had been put on.
"Then my next-door neighbor called," said Smith, "and said, 'I have your baby.'"
The scary moment had a happy ending, but Smith didn't want to take a chance on losing her
daughter again. So she did what many other parents are doing - she bought her child a cell phone
equipped with an electronic device that could keep track of her whereabouts.

M2M technology providers and system integrators often cite efficiency improvements and new
revenue opportunities as common indicators of return-on-investment. However, as more and more

According to IDC Corp., www.idc.com, Framingham, Mass., as devices enabling a mobile

Where would you be without GPS?
Perhaps carrying fewer gadgets: The technology is being added to shoes, MP3 players, dogs
By Carolyn Y. Johnson Boston Globe 1February 19, 2007
This month, GTX Corp. launched a line of Xplorer Smart GPS shoes that transform sneakers into
a wearable LoJack system.
ABI Research found that the number of people in North America who subscribe to GPS-enabled
location-based services more than doubled between 2005 and 2006, from 1.6 to 3.9 million. The
number of subscribers is projected to rocket to 52 million in 2011.
That means companies working in what used to be a niche market have been enjoying explosive
growth. Revenues at TomTom NV, a Concord-based maker of personal navigation products, have
increased more than 500-fold since 2001, from $2.5 million to an estimated $1.7 billion last
year. Garmin's business has exploded into the mainstream, too, and the company ran its first
Super Bowl ad this year. Boston-based start-up Skyhook Wireless brings location awareness to
any device with WiFi, and announced a major partnership this month with GPS platform maker
SiRF.
