For a company like GTX Corp. (OTC: GTXO) – whose innovative
work developing embedded/miniaturized GPS tracking devices for wearables and
other GPS/BLE based real-time monitoring technologies is centered around
empowering communities of people and fostering harmony – the recent opportunity
to take part in the Sports 4 Development Summit at the International Day for
Sport for Development and Peace at the United Nations on April 6th was a big
victory. After all, this important summit, designed to help raise awareness
regarding how crucial sports can be when it comes to educating people about and
fostering social change, is also a key networking opportunity for
partnership/project generation between attendees from the sports community,
NGOs, and UN participating members.
Also intended to honor governments, NGOs and pro athletes
who have shown a strong commitment to the goal of advancing developmental
change and peace throughout the world via sports, the Sports 4 Development
Summit 2016 was hosted by The Jack Brewer Foundation (JBF) and the Permanent
Mission of Grenada to the United Nations. Jack Brewer, founder of The Brewer
Group Companies, of which JBF Worldwide is the corporate social responsibility
organization, is a name that should be instantly familiar to those who have
been following GTXO, due to his leading presence as a brand ambassador for the
company. Brewer was more than happy to salute his fellow brand spokesmen:
former Minnesota Viking, Super Bowl Champion and Pro Bowl NFL wide receiver
Sidney Rice, as well as Clinton Portis, one of the top 20 running backs to have
ever played in the NFL – both of whom were on-hand to attend the summit
alongside numerous other past and present NFL players.
Founder, CEO and chairman of GTXO, Patrick Bertagna, gave a rousing
speech (http://dtn.fm/GEhb6, starting at 2:37:50) at the summit, wherein he
praised the power of sports to keep people connected, as well as its power to
help transcend the racial divide and provide a continuum of mutual experience,
where people who might not otherwise see eye to eye can form a cohesive and
lasting bond. Bertagna was keen to point out how brand spokesman Jack Brewer,
who was named Ambassador for Peace & Sport for the USFMEP (US Federation
for Middle East Peace) at the UN in 2014, continues to act as a lightning rod
for developmental change using sports, both through the JBF and through GTXO.
Bertagna, who is a UNGC (United Nations Global Compact)
member and sits on the JBF Board, went on to argue that sport’s importance, as
an essential part of the intricately woven fabric of the global tapestry,
continues to allow it to act as a platform for unification, giving
socially-minded athletes tremendous power when it comes to shaping our shared
future. This fact is ever-present on the minds of GTXO’s management, who have
assembled a brand ambassador contingent that also includes other pro athletes
such as NFL offensive tackle Jason Fox and former pro boxer turned concussion
awareness advocate Ray Ciancaglini.
Pro athletes, sadly, are almost always close associates with
injury-related disability. Years spent playing one’s heart out at the highest
levels in a sport like boxing or football, for instance, is something which has
become notorious for the toll it takes on the bodies of the athletes who play.
The quality of life benefits that products like the GPS SmartSole can provide
for individuals suffering from TBI (traumatic brain injury), for example, a
common injury in the NFL, has won the company many adherents throughout the
world of pro sports, and it is little wonder that GTXO has been able to retain
some of the biggest names in the NFL, especially given how such products can
really help injured or disabled people lead normal lives. This includes people
such as the 100 million or more worldwide who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s,
Dementia, Autism, TBI or some other cognitive memory disability.
People suffering from cognitive memory disabilities are
often disenfranchised societally and at great risk, irrespective of the cause
of the impairment – even if they happen to be former pro athletes. In such
cases, the suffering may be even worse, because the world expects them to be
super human. All such impaired persons require tolerance and understanding from
their communities, as TBI and other cognitive memory disabilities mean the
individual has a tendency to wander and become lost. Half of these people who
wander, if they are not found within the first 24 hours, statistically
speaking, will end up dead or seriously injured. GTXO understands the
associated challenges this problem presents and the company is laser-focused on
empowering caregivers, loved ones and the community around people with dementia
or similar afflictions via always-on systems that allow at-risk individuals to
be found within minutes and at a minimal cost, rather than hours or days late,
at extreme cost to the community – cost whose upper limit is all too often the
loss of a life to some tragic circumstance.
One of the keys to social progress is for those with
disability to be able to enjoy a place in society where they can feel at ease
in their own skin, and GTXO’s commitment to providing tracking and monitoring
solutions, ranging from wearables like its SmartSoles to standalone GPS devices
and digital platforms like the company’s Track My Workforce iOS and Android
apps, goes a long way toward realizing this end. The way in which all three of
these product vectors report in real-time to the company’s proprietary internet
of things GTX tracking platform, which can be accessed by any
internet-connected device using GTXO’s Smart Locator app, is fundamental to how
GTXO’s technologies can and are helping to shape a more cohesive,
situational-aware, and therefore tolerant society.
The reality of this is evident from the recent mutual
referral deal signed between GTXO and COPsync (NASDAQ: COYN), who are both at
the forefront of the location-based services market with real-time situational
awareness platforms. COPsync is well-known to law enforcement as the only show
in town when it comes to real-time, in-car information sharing, a powerful
capability made possible by COPsync’s SaaS-based COPsync Network™. Both
companies are focused on location-based services and real-time information
sharing for keeping people safe and connected, the kind of capabilities whose
existence within a community promotes overall social cohesion.
