ONE IN 50 KIDS HAS AUTISM:

These are some dramatic numbers: one in 50 American schoolchildren has autism, meaning at least 1 million children are affected by the disorder, according to a government survey of parents. Health officials cautioned that the numbers reflect that autism is diagnosed more frequently—especially since it is diagnosed not through blood tests but by psychiatrists—but not necessarily that it is occurring more often. The latest study by the Centers for Disease Control is considered more accurate than the earlier figure of one in 88 schoolchildren because this study cast a far wider outreach, although fewer than a quarter of parents contacted agreed to answer the questions.

GTX Corp (GTXO) wants to keep you connected to who and what matters most. If you have a child with Autism, check out our products that can provide peace of mind to you and your family. Click Here for more information on our Alertags and Here for more information on our GPS Shoes.

GTX Corp and Community Care RX are Modernizing Health Care and Pharmacy Services Providing a Positive Impact on the Quality of Care Delivered to Residents

Los Angeles, California March 13, 2013- Code Amber Alertag^TM, a GTX Corp business unit GTX Corp(GTXO),along with Community Care RX, which provides pharmacy services to long term care facilities throughout New York and Long Island, recently started working together to implement the Alertag Personal Health Record platform into their processes. This fortuitous collaboration will result with an initial rollout for 1,000 residents and a custom Community Care branded web portal scheduled for delivery and launch next month. With the Alertag direct interface to RX providers, GTX automates the Alertag database whenever a resident's medication changes or is updated which facilitates and accelerates the treatment and care of those in need, while increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

“We decided to utilize the medical Alertag because we are in the business of saving lives. Community Care Rx is the first LTC (Long Term Care) pharmacy to implement the Alertag Personal Health Record platform into our processes. We believe that having the updated medical information through the Alertag direct interface database whenever a resident is in an emergency setting will help the medical provider with vital medical history. Including emergency point of contact, medication and medication interaction, allergies, medical history for residents suffering from Alzheimer's, Anemia, Asthma, Autism, Dementia, Diabetes, Epileptic Seizures, Mental Impairment and host of other conditions,” said Hossam A. Maksoud Community Care CEO.

In furtherance of its mission, GTX Corp’s seamless interface between RX providers and patients that automatically updates the Alertag database whenever a resident's medication changes or a new prescription is filled follows the current trends in healthcare data management. As Dr. Michael Swiernik, UCLA Director of Medical Information has recently stated, "A big part of where the government is going is to try to make the data flow more freely amongst providers and hospitals so that your data goes with you instead of staying with the hospital or doctor.”

GTX Corp is positioning itself at the forefront of this emerging Personal Health Record (“PHR”) market, which is being bolstered by the Government’s mandate to modernize data management and shift the ownership of health records back to the individual. In fact, the Federal Government has recently budgeted $19.2B of stimulus money to help defray the cost of this modernization.

“We are excited about our new partnership with Community Care RX and look forward to helping them implant our cost saving PHR platform,” stated Bryant Harper President of the Code Amber Alertag business unit.

The Company has already identified dozens of facilities that operate in a manner similar to Community Care RX that can benefit from implementing this patent-pending solution and with an annual cost of less than thirty dollars per resident, the value proposition of this product and service is readily evident to these types of institutions and creates a stream of recurring revenues for the Company.

Similar to a loyalty card you might receive from a local supermarket, the Alertag features a QR code that grants immediate access to vital medical history. When the QR code is scanned by a Smartphone or any electronic device with scanning capability, a link will open showing the Alertag holder’s general medical history.

In addition to medical facilities utilizing the Alertag system, individuals suffering from ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer's, diabetes, anemia, asthma, Autism, dementia,  allergies, epileptic seizures, mental impairment, and many other conditions, will benefit from having an Alertag, hence the broader appeal and marketability of the Alertag system to the general consumer.

The Digital Health Record Is Here

A cure for chronic paperwork.
 

It's easy to make the case for personal electronic health records: a health care system in which everyone has his or her full medical history in a digital format, stored securely in the cloud, where it's always accessible and readily shareable. Such a system would deliver quicker, safer, and higher-quality care than our current system, in which medical histories sprawl piecemeal in scribbled notes locked away in doctors' offices, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies. Consolidate the data in a single record, and there will be fewer errors, less redundant paperwork, fewer unnecessary appointments, and better coordination among providers, patients, and the family members who help care for them.

What's hard, it turns out, is building an electronic health record, or EHR, that people will actually use. Just ask Mohammad Al-Ubaydli. When the doctor/programmer founded the U.K.-based EHR company Patients Know Best four years ago, he had three main competitors: Google, Microsoft, and Britain's National Health Service. Google and the NHS have since pulled the plug; Microsoft's HealthVault hobbles on, although many analysts question how much more effort the software giant will put into the project.

But Al-Ubaydli believes he can succeed. "The big challenge is in lining up everyone," says Al-Ubaydli. "Google and Microsoft thought only patients mattered, so they built a product that was only usable by patients. A patient gets really excited about Google Health, spends three hours entering their data manually, then tries to show their doctor, and the doctor refuses to use it with them. That patient will never again use Google Health." Patients Know Best, by contrast, has been designed to be useful for patients and clinicians, he says. Another key challenge: trust. "Google and Microsoft spent a long time trying to convince people that they would not misuse, resell, or advertise around the data," says Al-Ubaydli. "Not many people believed them." Patients Know Best encrypts all data so that only the patient and whomever the patient chooses can decrypt it.

To get started with Patients Know Best, patients ask an institution, like a hospital network, to transfer their data into a personal account. From then on, the patient controls the record and can invite other providers to collaborate, adding reports, lab results, information on medications, and the like. It's free for patients. Hospitals and doctors in private practice pay subscription fees. "The hospitals pay, because by working with patients in this way, they either save money through efficiencies or make money by attracting more patients with better customer service," says Al-Ubaydli.

Patients Know Best is just getting started: About 20 hospitals in the U.S. and the U.K. use the platform. But Al-Ubaydli says the company is profitable ahead of schedule, and he expects that incentives for doctors to adopt electronic health records will help spur usage. "Every government is heading toward the same big trends of universal health care and payment by result, not activity," he says. "All the incentives are there to improve outcomes by sharing data."

GTX Corp and LifeSpire are Helping Save Lives and Money by Modernizing the Emergency Health Care System

Los Angeles, California September 20, 2012-GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO) Code Amber Alertag^TM, a GTX Corp business unit, along with LifeSpire, Inc., continue adding new patients to the Alertag PHR Platform. GTX Corp recently shipped 1,000 additional Alertags to LifeSpire and renewed 500 residents into their secure medical identification platform.

GTX Corp partnered with LifeSpire, a nonprofit dedicated to helping the developmentally disabled. This fortuitous collaboration resulted in the launch of a LifeSpire-branded Alertag that expedites the treatment of persons in need, potentially saving their lives. LifeSpire operates residential facilities for the elderly and disabled in the State of New York with over 5,000 residents and 400 staff. LifeSpire trusts Alertag to store and retrieve critical medical information.

“It’s a powerful tool for an individual to carry,” said Mark van Voorst, Chief Executive Officer of LifeSpire. “If you are unable to speak, are unconscious or simply confused and lost, the first responder will have near real-time access to vital health and medical information that could mean the difference between life and death.”

In furtherance of its mission, GTX Corp has also developed a seamless interface between RX providers and patients that automatically updates the Alertag database whenever a resident's medication changes or a new prescription is filled. This functionality follows major trends in healthcare data management. As Dr. Michael Swiernik, UCLA Director of Medical Information has recently stated, "A big part of where the government is going is to try to make the data flow more freely amongst providers and hospitals so that your data goes with you instead of staying with the hospital or doctor.”

GTX Corp is positioning itself at the forefront of this emerging Personal Health Record (“PHR”) market, which is being bolstered by the Government’s mandate to modernize data management and shift the ownership of health records back to the individual. In fact, the Federal Government has recently budgeted $19.2B of stimulus money to help defray the cost of this modernization.

GTX Corp has already identified over 60 facilities that operate in a manner similar to LifeSpire that could benefit from implementing this patent-pending solution. At an annual subscription cost of less than twenty dollars per individual, the value proposition of this service is readily evident to these types of institutions and creates a stream of recurring revenues for the Company.

Similar to a loyalty card you might receive from a local supermarket, the Alertag features a QR code that grants immediate access to vital medical history. When the QR code is scanned by a Smartphone or any electronic device with scanning capability, a link will open showing the Alertag holder’s general medical history—including name, address, and emergency points of contact. Larger providers will also have the ability to add their logos and their contact information as the emergency contact for many of the individuals they care for.

In addition to medical facilities utilizing the Alertag system institutionally, individuals suffering from ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer's, diabetes, anemia, asthma, Autism, dementia,  allergies, epileptic seizures, mental impairment, and many other conditions, will benefit from having an Alertag, hence the broader appeal and marketability of the Alertag system to the general consumer.

TAKE SAFETY IN YOUR OWN HANDS

If you are one of those proactive types- or if you're at particular risk due to age or ailment -these devices can help first responders help you in a moment of need.

MEDICAL QR CODE

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are rushed to the emergency room every day, many with pre-existing medical conditions that could impact treatment.

The Code Amber Alertag solution by GTX Corp. (GTXO), can put critical identification and medical-history data into the hands of first responders, even when a patient is unconscious.

The Alertag contains a QR code that brings up key info when scanned by a first responder's smartphone.

"It's like your own personal safety deposit box," says Patrick Bertagna, CEO,
founder, and chairman of GTX Corp. "Basically anything and everything that would be in your doctor's office in those old file cabinets, you can carry one little piece of plastic that's the size of a stamp." ($ 19.95 for three lags; $20 annual subscription fee)

FALL DETECTION

For an extra measure of security, Lifecomm offers a mobile PERS (personal emergency response system) or "MPERS" unit that integrates accelerometer-based automatic fall detection with GPS technology to make sure help can find you when needed.

"When a fall occurs, or when the individual pushes the button on the device, there's a voice and data connection (and) one of the elements of data we send up is lat/long," says Rich Lobovsky, vice president of business development of Lifecomm, a majority-owned subsidiary of Hughes Telematics. "We identify the PSAP (public-safety answering point) who has jurisdiction... who then dispatches the appropriate first responder to address the need of that individual."

The Code Amber Alertag How Lifespire is Embracing Technology to Revolutionize Emergency Care.

March 26, 2012, New York, N.Y.- - In an environment where nonprofits need to do more but are being given less, embracing technology has become more vital to sustainability than ever before. Organizations such as Lifespire, Inc., have spent the last year integrating technology into their strategic plan, and have seen results not only in their cost savings, but in overall delivery of their services to their clients.

Earlier this year, Lifespire's Article 16 Clinic went electronic-providing an array of services in over 175 locations, Lifespire provided all of their clinicians with Netbooks. The Netbooks not only allow the organization to track what services are being provided at specific locations, but they track the location of service delivery using a built in GPS system, in addition to easing the documentation process for staff and allow for the clients file to be accessible to those who are granted permission within a simple click.

Lifespire's reputation for developing IT solutions resulted in their partnership with Denmark's Team Online-an organization known for being a leader in technology in the field of the disabled. The Bosted system is a user friendly IT solution that can improve and support daily routines of care providers and their organizations. The system is designed to streamline documentation and impact measurements of services and is the result of over ten years of user-driven innovation. "Our advances in technology over the past year have been significant," said Mark van Voorst, Chief Executive Officer of Lifespire. "Not only have we increased efficiency in our daily operations, but we've been able to manage our budget more effectively, collaborate with other organizations to work together for a better future, and above all, provide improved services to our consumers."

Lifespire's commitment to IT impacts more than just their staff and those they directly serve. Lifespire released a new version of the Code Amber Alertag, a wholly owned subsidiary of GTX Corp (GTXO), which will help accelerate the treatment and care of those in need, potentially saving hundreds of lives. Similar to a card you would receive from a local supermarket, the tag features a bar code, however instead of granting the individual access to savings, the QR code grants access to vital medical history. When the QR code is scanned by a Smartphone or any electronic device with a scanning capability, the link will open to the individual's very general medical history-including name, address, and emergency point of contact. One of the first organizations on the east coast to release this new technology, Lifespire hopes to set the tone and encourage others to develop a system of awareness and security for their clients.

"Whether we're partnering with Team Online to streamline our documentation, or ATWEC Technologies, Inc., to install safety systems in our buses and vans, we remain committed to providing quality services efficiently and safely," said van Voorst. Nonprofit's such as Lifespire are setting the bar for other organizations to follow. The more efficient an organization is run, the better programs and services they organization can provide-resulting in increased funding and donor support.

Code Amber Alertag Testimonial

"I bought the family pack Code Amber Alertags for my parents and husband's parent. Both my husband and I carry ours all the time. My parents always carry theirs. Not only are they carrying theirs but just last week put it to use. My dad went down in a Target store and my mom could not rouse him or get him to come to. They called 911 and the paramedic had no problem retrieving his information from the Code Amber Alertag that he had with him. They knew how to treat him right there in Target. He has a breathing problem and just passed out. So they were able to know what conditions he had and what medications he was on."

Thank you so much for being there for us.

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.

An aging population with a rising incidence of chronic conditions poses a major threat to healthcare systems throughout developed countries.

Chronic illnesses are among the most costly conditions to manage draining a disproportionate amount of the systems resources. It is estimated that chronic conditions consume two-thirds of US health care expenditures and impact the lives of 90 million Americans. Contributing to the impending collapse of the current health care system is the growing and geographically dispersed population of aging boomers.

To maintain the health of the health care system practioners are migrating from an acute treatment protocol to a prevention practice. The FCC has pledged to provide $400M for building a tele-health and tele-medicine infrastructure to establish communication platforms.

Of significant importance to this shift will be the collection (Bio-monitoring) and access to personal vital signs via remote sensors (Body Sensor Network) and GPS transceivers. Continuously monitoring and maintaining a secure medical data history of weight, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, fitness activity and respiratory function are merely the initial applications of GPSPLS Health 2.0 solutions.

Miniaturized GPS transceivers will dispense medications and signal circumstances to care givers of impending health events and dispatch emergency services that will have access to real-time and historic informatics with precise location information. Well informed timely responses will reduce the impact on the system and the patient. Revenues from the transition will come from equipment sales and subscription services offset by insurers, government agencies and patient fees.

Two products from GTX Corp provide solutions to these issues, the GPS Shoe and the Code Amber Alertag.

The not so 'golden' years

Statistics are a convenience for describing what might be so threatening to our well being that we refuse to accept the facts as they are presented. Demenita is just such a threat. In fact more American fear losing their mind, than contracting heart disease or cancer as they enter their golden years.

Alzheimer's disease will produce a cascade of events that may prove to be a health management tsunami. Our population is getting older and living longer. Nearly 10 million unpaid care givers provided more than 8 billion hours of care to dimentia victims. At the current paid hourly rate for a health care provider that amount would be greeater than the national debt. In a decade the problem would make care giving the number one vocation.

While there is no cure as yet for the disease -- one of its symptoms; wandering, can be managed with the aid of a unique Personal Locaton Services application of GPS technology.

The Technology Pavilion at the Life@50+ National AARP Event & Expo Washington, DC, September 4–6, 2008 will include a “Nana” Technology© booth, hosted by Andrew Carle, a national expert on senior care and technology, and an Assistant Professor in the College of Health and Human Services at George Mason University. Professor Carle acts as an advisor to GTX Corp, specifically targeting the development of applications for location aware devices to assist the home bound elderly who are memory impaired. He has coined the term “Nana” to describe helpful technologies for older adults and the role such technologies will play in meeting the needs of aging Baby Boomers.

Research White Paper

The Importance of Maintaining your Personal Health Records

Within our brains, the hippocampus is responsible for recollections such as people, places and events. While our capacity to learn and remember is unlimited, stress can make us temporarily forget even obvious items. While science doesn't have all the answers about memory, researchers have learned that the causes for short-term memory loss can be due to chemical secretions produced by the body to defend itself. Most memory failures will reverse themselves in a few days if the stress alleviated.

A personal health record (PHR) permits you to securely gather, store, manage and share your own and your family's health information - when you want, where you want, and with whom you choose. And in times of stress when remembering the vital information medical services professionals will need to provide informed treatment decisions may be a challenge, many have turned to Code Amber Alertag.

It is smarter to have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it, than to need it and have one.

Furthering the Partnership between Aetrex Worldwide and GTX Corp, Code Amber Alertag now joins in.

GTX Corp. and Aetrex, a global leader in comfort and wellness footwear products, have partnered to bring millions of people afflicted with dementia the multi patent and award winning GPS Shoe. With every pair of GPS shoes sold, customers will also be offered a Code Amber Alertag to further protect themselves in the case of the unthinkable.

Currently 50,000 pairs of Aetrex wellness shoes are shipped each month and beginning this month a Code Amber Alertag brochure will be placed with every pair of shoes shipped.

The Code Amber Alertag—How Lifespire is Working to Revolutionize Emergency Care

August 3, 2011, New York, N.Y.—Lifespire, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping developmentally disabled individuals reach their life’s aspirations, is working to release a new version of the Code Amber Alertag which will help accelerate the treatment and care of those in need, and potentially save hundreds of lives.

Similar to a card you would receive from a local supermarket, the tag features a QR code, however instead of granting the individual access to savings, the QR code grants access to vital medical history. When the QR code is scanned by a Smartphone or any electronic device with a scanning capability, the link will open to the individual’s very general medical history—including name, address, and emergency point of contact. The first responder will be able to connect with the emergency contact, and be given the PIN. If the PIN is provided, the physician or first responder will have access to a wealth of information such as a detailed medical history, current and past medications, family contact information, their healthcare proxy, and their service provider.

“It’s a powerful and potentially life-saving tool for an individual to carry,” said Mark van Voorst, Chief Executive Officer of Lifespire. “If a person is unable to speak, is unconscious, or is simply confused and lost, the first responder will have almost instant access to critical information which could make a difference in saving someone’s life.”

As the healthcare and pharmaceutical worlds shift to electronic health records and better IT systems, this new tag will replace hours of phone calls, the sending of documents and anxiety in the wait for information access. In addition, large providers will have the ability to add their logo and their contact information as the emergency contact for many of the individuals they care for.

Potentially one of the first organizations on the east coast to release this new technology, Lifespire is looking to release the new Code Amber Alertag in the fall of 2011. For more information about the Tag or Lifespire and those they serve, please log onto www.lifespire.org.

Inconceivable

At this very moment, becoming a victim of a terrorist attack, seeking shelter from a tornado or calling 911 for emergency medical attention it totally inconceivable. Yet for millions, the inconceivable calamity becomes a startling realty every day.

There is no warning for a child suffering a head injury from a bicycle fall, a dad falling from a ladder cleaning a gutter, grandma having a heart attack, an ammonia spill across the street from the church, or an Alzheimer's victim wandering.

Ask yourself, when it happens will you have the presence of mind to gather the personal identification information, prescriptions, medical history, physician contacts and phone numbers of loved ones and communicate with each the information they need? The answer is self evident, but the question remains; "how can I prepare myself and my family for the improbable?

Code Amber Alertag knows the answers to the "who, what and when"

While GPS tracking can answer the "where" question, the Code Amber Alertag knows the answers to the "who, what and when" questions that first responders to medical emergencies need to know to provide informed treatment. Directional GPS has saved the lives of thousands by guiding emergency services to the precise location of people and pets in need of immediate medical attention. Getting there quickly however, may just be the first of many life and death decisions that need to considered especially if you, like one in four other Americans, have a chronic condition or a serious allergy. That's why everyone needs a Code Amber Alertag.

Accidents Happen - Don't Become a Statistic

More than 1,000 people visited emergency rooms in 2008 because they were distracted and accidently tripped, bumped or ran into something while talking or texting on their cellphone. That was twice the number from 2007, which had nearly doubled from 2006, according to a study conducted by Ohio State University (NYT).

There is a growing problem; DISTRACTION — A potentially injurious combination of a PERSON, with a MOBILE PHONE and an OBSTACLE like other people, the pole of a street sign, a toy left on the steps, a parked or even a moving vehicle.

“It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said Jack L. Nasar, a professor at Ohio State, noting that the number of mishaps will most likely increase as texting is rising sharply and devices like the iPhone have thousands of new, engaging applications.

However, certain iPhone and Android Apps reduce the likelihood that you will become an accident statistic. Check out GPS TRACKING. It will provide the precise location of one or all of those in your contact list and send a TXT MSG along with the location (LOCi) request – not only combining two tasks into one, but just in case you walk into an object larger than yourself, you’ll be able to alert friends or family of your location and the inconceivable happenstance.

By the way, if cell phone multi-tasking has become a habit, then you might also want to take a look at Code Amber's Alertag – A secure digital personal ID tag that will provide first responders to emergencies with the vital information needed to make an informed treatment assessment as well as who to call.

We think it’s a good idea to anticipate the unexpected.

It's far smarter to have a Code Amber Alertag and not need it than to need it and not have it...

The College Of Integrative Medical Sciences: People's lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics. Incidents as varied as automobile accidents, heart attacks, slips and falls, childbirth, blunt and penetrating wounds all require immediate medical attention. EMTs and paramedics provide this vital service as they care for and transport the sick or injured to a medical facility.

EMTs and paramedics are typically dispatched to emergency scenes, where they often work with police. fire fighters and other first responders. Once they arrive, EMTs and paramedics assess the nature of the patient's condition while trying to determine whether the patient has any pre-existing medical conditions.

Code Amber Alertag alerts medical personnel to complicating medical conditions such as Diabetes

19.2 Billion Dollars or 20 Bucks?

The government has mandated that all medical records be converted from paper to digital records over the next few years. They have also budgeted 19.2 billion dollars in stimulus money to be handed out to help defray the cost of doing so. Those are your tax dollars by the way. The cost could rise to over 27 billion dollars over the next 10 years.

"A big part of where the government is going is to try to make the data flow more freely amongst providers and hospitals so that your data goes with you instead of staying with the hospital or doctor," said Dr. Michael Swiernik, UCLA Director of Medical Information.

Sounds great, right? But what actually has to happen to make it work?

Currently, some hospitals are making their patient information systems available to their participating doctors so the medical records can be shared and updated between them. It's a start but not how the program is supposed to work. See Dr. Swiernik's statement above. Your data is supposed to go with you, not just "staying with the hospital or doctor".

For the program to work as proposed there has to be a centralized data base that contains all of the electronic medical records for every patient that is accessible by every doctor, clinic, hospital etc. Also, each doctor, hospital, clinic etc. must update the database anytime the patient's information changes. Updates are the easy part.

Each health care provider must input the patients' information to create the database. There is the rub. Who goes first? Who starts the process of putting your medical records into the database? How is the database accessed? What equipment is required? How does your doctor get registered as an authorized health care provider in the system?

Do you think that your doctor has the staff or the time and equipment to input every one of their patients' information into that database? Probably not.

Here is a simple $20 solution to a multi billion dollar problem - Code Amber Alertag.

My personal medical records are available to any doctor, hospital, emergency room, EMT or clinic I choose to give access. Anywhere in the world.

When I got my Alertag I simply went to the web site and entered my personal medical information into the secure (256 bit encryption - just like my bank) server. There are two types of information, public and private.

The public information is accessible by entering my ten digit security code on the secure web page and is intended to be used by emergency personnel, like EMT's and emergency room staff, if I am in an accident or otherwise incapacitated. Public information includes any allergies, conditions, treatments or my current medications. This information enables emergency personnel to treat me appropriately based on my current information.

The public information also provides emergency contact information so they can contact my wife for access to my private records, by entering my PIN on the secure web site, if I can't give it to them and they need additional information on my conditions. And my wife will be glad to know where I am and that I am being taken care of properly.

My private medical records area contains extensive information regarding my medical history over my entire life time. All of this information I entered myself, including images of old x-rays, and now can be maintained by me and my doctors.

Of course I also got Alertags for my wife, my daughter, son-in-law and my two beautiful granddaughters.

To sum it up we are in total control of our personal medical records and you can be too. They are available instantly anywhere in the world and it only cost me 20 bucks each.

So that's how you can solve a 19 billion dollar problem with a $20 product, Code Amber Alertag.
