GPS SmartSole® Used to Predict Wandering of Individuals with Dementia
George Mason University’s College of Health and Human Services Completes Phase II of Machine Learning Wandering Prediction Research – GPS Tracking for Dementia Patients Los Angeles, Calif. – June 18, 2018– GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), an IoT platform in the personal location wearable and wandering assistive technology business, announced today that George Mason University’s College of Health and Human Services has successfully completed its Phase II machine learning wandering prediction research. The recently published study1 explores the possibility of using machine learning methods applied to data from GPS trackers to create individualized models that describe patterns of movement. These patterns can be used to predict the typical locations of individuals with dementia and to detect movements that do not follow regular patterns and may correspond to wandering. This research has the potential to greatly help families and caregivers quickly detect and stop episodes of wandering before they can result in tragic incidents. As part of a the GTX collaboration agreement with Mason, which began in fall of 2016, the university utilized the patented GPS SmartSole, GTX’s location-based technology and data, in order to […]
