The Patented GPS Smart Shoe

Monday, December 12, 2011

Here I am, there I go and now you know. My GPS told you so.

Expect crowd-based problem solving to fuel endless innovations in 2012, especially as for consumers, contributing will be more effortless than ever.

However the reality is that most consumers- while they might want to contribute- find that it a hassle. You can expect to see more IDLE SOURCING initiatives in 2012: products and services that make it simple to contribute to anything, from pinpointing roads in need of repairs to finding signs of extraterrestrial life.

Making this technological possible is the ubiquity of always-on, GPS and accelerometer-enabled smartphones. In 2012, consumers can and will increasingly broadcast data about where and what they are doing.

Two IDLE SOURCING examples that show the way:

Test launched back in March 2011, the Boston based Street Bump app takes advantage of the sensors on smartphones to give city officials a real-time map of road conditions. The Android app uses the accelerometers and GPS technology in users’ phones to register when and where the user’s car has experienced a pothole, which it logs and reports automatically.

Israeli crowd-sourced traffic navigation app Waze reached seven million users across 45 countries in October 2011. The app provides free turn-by-turn navigation alongside live information about road conditions, crowdsourced from other users. Users can also sign-in and view their friends’ locations.

GTXCorp continues to offer its patented 2-way GPS people finding solutions – including its life saving GPS Smart Shoe through Aetrex Worldwide – that instantly locates the victims of Alzheimer’s Disease that have eloped or wandered from their caregivers. Talk is that a kids version is on the drawing boards for a similar solution. Remember, dementia is not age biased.

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.
