eTrak mentioned as leader in mHealth

eTrak was recognized today by one of the web’s leading technology blogs, TechNewsWorld.com, in an article called, mHealth Looks Rosy at CTIA. The article speaks glowingly about the future of mHealth (also written as m-health or mobile health.)

eTrak CEO John Harris is quoted:

“Boomers are more tech savvy and can understand this technology,” said John Harris, CEO of eTrak.

This understanding, coupled with technology advances, is what makes these new products so much more helpful for consumers, he added.

“We are blazing a trail, as those LifeLine products only use landline telephone systems,” explained Harris. “Those products only work around your home. We have a cellular-based technology, so it is a ‘follow me around’ platform and can be carried anywhere you go.”

eTrak can also send texts and emails, and it includes a map with turn-by-turn directions to get healthcare responders to patients in the case of an emergency, Harris told TechNewsWorld. “The old technology can’t do that.”

Harris also points out that eTrak is not just for mobile health. The number of applications eTrak can be used for is too numerous to put an exact figure on. The eTrak GPS+ “Hybrid Tracking System” allows eTrak to work indoors and outdoors, domestically and internationally, and of course, inside and outside normal cell phone range. For nearly anything or anyone that needs monitoring, eTrak is a solution that is accurate up to ten feet!

eTrak Location Tracking Device at CTIA

CTIA is one of the biggest wireless technology shows in the world. In the show’s own words, “CTIA is All Things Mobile.” eTrak is proud to be attending this year, and, to be nominated for the Emerging Technology Award. (To vote for eTrak, see http://bit.ly/etrak)

Over 40,000 qualified attendees from around the world are drawn to the show every year The exhibit space stretches over 300,000 sq. ft. and hosts over 1,000 exhibitor. Much of the draw for these attendees are the 1,100+ members of the press and independent analysts that attend the show to report on the latest in wireless, mobile, and GPS technologies.

For eTrak, CTIA presents an excellent opportunity to share our inspiration for developing the eTrak device. The most sophisticated wireless, GPS-tracking technology powers eTrak, but it’s the parents and caretakers of those with Autism and Down Syndrome, and the elderly who suffer from Dementia or Alzheimer’s, that ultimately drove the eTrak solution, making it the preeminent ”GPS Tracker.”

Never before has personal location-tracking technology like this been available for the everyday consumer. eTrak is smaller, more accurate, more affordable, and more versatile than any other device on the market. CTIA presented the perfect opportunity to introduce the product to the world.

CTIA exhibit floor hours are as follows:

  • Tuesday, May 8 – 11:00AM–4:30PM
  • Wednesday, May 9 – 11:00AM–5:00PM
  • Thursday, May 10 – 9:30AM–2:00PM

You can find eTrak at Booth# 6219B and Meeting Room-164.

If you cannot make CTIA, but hope to catch a glimpse of the experience, find eTrak on Twitter at @eTrakGPS, or by using the hashtag #CTIAW12. We’ll be posting news and updates through the week!

The Birth of eTrak: A High-Tech Personal GPS Tracking Solution

April 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

John Harris, a family man with a knack for inventing, witnessed the terrifying moment when his autistic niece wandered from the group and couldn’t be found for a short period of time. After seeing her parents worry and experiencing the panic himself, Harris knew he had to find a solution.

“It came to a point where she could unlock doors and windows and get out before anyone knew she was gone,” Harris said. “At that point we knew we had to do something, and started looking for something we could attach to her so we would know where she was if she got out.”

In November 2010, Harris began the journey of developing a location tracking product that would soon prove to be far superior to anything of the likes on the market. eTrak was born.

Using GPS, Cell ID, and Wi-Fi, eTrak has the ability to track a person, pet, or automobile indoors and outdoors. The patented technology also delivers latitude and longitude coordinates, potentially telling you what floor of a building the person is on. The device weighs less than an ounce and is approximately the size of a domino, boasts a seven-to-ten day battery life and a water resistant shell, positioning eTrak to take the market by storm. Now, I’m sure you’re thinking “wow that’s incredible” and you’re right, it absolutely is, but it gets even better.

eTrak is equipped with a panic button in case of an emergency. When pressed, the button sends its location by text and email with turn-by-turn directions to the predetermined contacts of your choice. Our product also allows you to set up safety circles; when the device leaves or enters these safety circles, the same predetermined contacts will be notified by either text message or email.

After spending some time with the engineers, it was soon discovered that eTrak could be used for a lot more than just tracking people. We all have a need to protect our most prized possessions and eTrak’s proprietary technology can assist better than any other product on the market. Whether it is your car, your pet, your purse, or your golf clubs, eTrak will make sure you Always Know where these things are.
