While there are many tracking programs out there for children and even teens, GTX Corp introduced an innovative product aimed at adults suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Many sufferers are actually in good physical condition and thus aren’t confined to a room or even a house. To keep track of loved ones, the company came up with a novel idea – namely putting a tracking device in the footwear.
Now the GPS Smart Shoe has won the 2010 People’s Choice Award for Most Innovative Connected Location Device at the 4th Annual Locations & Beyond Summit this past week.
“We are honored to have won this prestigious award and look forward to continue to bring innovative and game changing technologies that transform how we utilize GPS tracking and stay connected to one another,” says Patrick Bertagna, CEO and founder of GTX Corp. “GTX is known for its ground breaking and now award winning patented GPS Smart Shoe and its block buster Smartphone GPS Tracking Apps and continues to pave the way with innovative geo specific and proximity alerting GPS tracking applications that help you know where someone or something is at the touch of a button.”
