GPS SmartSole Launch in Germany

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTX Corp (OTCBB:GTXO), an IoT platform in the personal location GPS wearable and wandering assistive technology business, announced the completion of another successful SmartSole pilot program transitioning into a commercial launch and signing a reseller/distribution agreement with Way4Net , a solution provider in geo locating and tracking monitoring services. Way4Net placed its first commercial order, with scheduled delivery dates beginning this month and continuing monthly over the next 6 months.

Germany has a population of 83 million people with approximately 1.6 million, or 2% of its population who are afflicted with dementia and Alzheimer's and just this week Munich and Germany legend Gerd Muller, one of the all-time greats of world football announced receiving treatment for Alzheimer's disease. This disease is not limited only to the senior population as there are also approximately 24,000 people ages 45 - 65 already diagnosed throughout Germany.

Many people mistake dementia as a disease and as a natural consequence of getting older, when it is actually the result of damage to brain cells that affect memory. Dementia affects close to 50 million people worldwide today with no cure for this syndrome on the horizon.

Eric Gnass, CEO of Way4Net, commented, "For us, the solution of GTX SmartSole is one of the best technologies to increase the quality of life of vulnerable people with the symptoms of dementia, Alzheimer's, autism and other cognitive memory disorders. We are very pleased to introduce this unique product on the German market."

Andrew Duncan, GTX Corp director of business development, commented, "We are extremely pleased to have another successful pilot transition into a commercial launch and we are proud to partner with a well-entrenched company like Way4Net. We are currently investing a lot of resources in Germany which is where we design and manufacture our GPS and cellular chip and have recently signed an M2M agreement with Telefonica Germany which will support our connectivity throughout Europe." Duncan continued with, "Between our launch in Germany and launch last week in the U.K. I plan to stay in Europe for another two weeks working with our partners and chip manufactures on our next Gen SmartSole, expected out in early 2016."

GTX Corp's flagship product, the GPS SmartSoles are a stigma free, safety and security unobtrusive monitoring and tracking solution for those who suffer from Alzheimer's, dementia, autism, TBI and other memory disorders and have a tendency to wander.
