Las Vegas, NV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/29/2016 --GTX Corp Makes the list of 25 Most Empowering IoT Companies in 2016
GTX Corp (OTCBB:GTXO), an IoT platform in the personal location wearable and wandering assistive technology business, announced today the signing of a collaboration agreement with George Mason University's College of Health and Human Services. In collaboration with investigators from the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University, who have expertise in the economics of disease management and mobile health technologies, the University will utilize GTX technology and data in order to study wandering habits in elderly people with Alzheimer's and dementia. The initial project will begin in early fall 2016 and is expected to last 1 year, and if successful, will be followed up with a large scale project planned for another 2-3 years.
The goal of the project is to investigate the possibility of using GPS data collected by GTX's SmartSole for predicting wandering patterns of elderly people with Alzheimer's and dementia. If successful, the project will result in a set of models capable of predicting a general area or direction in which a given patient is most likely to go when becoming disoriented and/or wandering. The project will be an objective methodical study and is intended to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. The created preliminary models will be made available to GTX Corp, which will consider deploying the prediction algorithms into their backend monitoring platform, adding another layer of technology and overall value to the platform and monitoring services provided by GTX Corp.
"GTX's SmartSole technology opens up the possibility of analyzing data that previously did not exist and creates new avenues to research wandering behaviors in people with Alzheimer's and dementia," said Janusz Wojtusiak, PhD, associate professor of health informatics at Mason. "GTX's technology combined with Mason's advanced data analytic methods could lead to breakthroughs in the field."
GTX Corp – keeping you connected to who matters most, was also featured in Enterprise Magazine as one of 25 most empowering IoT companies of 2016.
