GTX Corp, a personal location wearables company, has entered a strategic partnership with Life Button 24, a division of World Wide Security Group and provider of life safety, dispatch and monitoring services since 1979.

Under the strategic partnership, GTX Corp will offer Life Button 24 services to its GPS SmartSole customers, providing 24/7 access to live dispatch operators that can assist caregivers when a loved one goes missing. The premium service will be offered through GTX on a monthly subscription basis as an add-on to existing monthly tracking service plans provided by GTX.

“Our GPS SmartSoles were specifically designed for caregivers to be able to react in real time to find a loved one who has wandered off,” commented Andrew Duncan, director of GTX Corp. “By partnering with Life Button 24, we will now offer our U.S. customers an enhanced level of service and extra layer of protection. The service will be able to provide a caregiver with the ability to contact a live person, who can assist in coordinating the successful search and rescue of the loved one, or assist in notifying the proper authorities if needed. By offering this service, we enable individual caregivers and assisted living staff, among others, with an additional level of 24/7 human response, when critical support is most needed.”

“Life Button 24 is thrilled to provide 24-hour emergency response services in partnership with the GTX Corp SmartSole GPS system,” said Jeff Katz, director of project development for Life Button 24. “Addressing wandering issues of individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s and autism is a growing concern for the millions of families and caregivers. Life Button 24 looks forward to being part of a greater solution that delivers peace-of-mind through advanced tracking technology and customized emergency response services, which were designed specifically to support applications such as the GPS SmartSole.”

“With initial delivery dates for our GPS SmartSoles to consumers being confirmed next week and several pilot agreements with large organizations kicking off this month, the timing of this partnership with Life Button 24 couldn’t be better. “After several months of integrating and testing our platform and services and having socialized this new offering with some of our larger partners in law enforcement and the assisted living community, we are extremely excited to start offering this service and look forward to a successful partnership with the Life Button 24 team.” Commented Patrick Bertagna CEO of GTX Corp.
