GTX Corp. and ProteGear.com announced their cooperation to launch the latest generation of the GPS SmartSole product based upon LTE Cat M1 technology. The German health system provides universal population coverage either through social health insurance (SHI), which covers almost 90% of the population, or VHI (Voluntary Health Insurance.) Health insurance coverage is mandatory for the entire population.

Coverage is virtually universal and less than 1% of the population is not insured. The SmartSole is GTX's most notable award-winning product which is a seamless GPS-enabled wearable device whose target market is people with cognitive disorders such as Autism, Dementia, Traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer's. These groups tend to wander and need constant remote patient monitoring (RPM). Although this is a niche segment, these groups together represent approximately 3% of the world's population, which is around 34 million in the 24 go-to market ready developed countries GTX has identified, and in several of these countries has already begun distribution.
