World's First Emergency Medical Information Franchise Launches GPS Tracking
Device
-- eMed-Trac Offers Live Instant Tracking for People with Alzheimer's,
Dementia and Other Cognitive Impairments --

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sep. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- eMed-ID, the world's first
emergency medical information device franchise, announced today the launch of
eMed-Trac, a live instant tracking device designed for people with
Alzheimer's, dementia and other cognitive impairments, or children who need to
be closely supervised by parents for medical or other reasons.

The eMed-Trac device operates through global positioning satellites and has
additional features such as live monitoring from any Internet-enabled
computer, geofencing to establish a perimeter, text and email alerts and an
SOS call function. With more than 5.3 million Americans living with
Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, eMed-Trac can provide an additional
measure of safety for these patients and their families.

"In 20 years, the number of Alzheimer's patients is expected to increase to
7.7 million. This combined with the fact that at least 60 percent of these
patients have at least one instance of wandering away from home or their
healthcare facility or getting lost while driving or walking, establishes a
greater need to protect those who suffer from Alzheimer's and other cognitive
impairments," said Lonnie Helgerson, CEO, eMed-ID Franchising, LLC. "As a
result, we've developed a small device that can ensure greater safety for
those who carry it and provide peace of mind to caregivers and family members
who may need to locate their loved ones."

Approximately the size of a nine-volt battery, the eMed-Trac device operates
with a battery that lasts a week on average and is rechargeable. The device
is tracked via an online portal that provides live location updates and can be
viewed in three formats - map, hybrid and satellite. The location is mapped
by address, as well as by latitude and longitude. In addition, the tracking
system can provide a history of where the device has been in a given
timeframe. The eMed-Trac device also can be programmed with a geofence - an
area in which the person can travel, but if they leave that area, an alert
will be sent via text, email or voice.

eMed-Trac is equipped with a call function, or SOS button, that will alert
designated people to an emergency. It notifies friends, family members or
healthcare providers via text or email that help is needed. eMed-Trac is
available through eMed-ID's franchisee network for $189 and $29.95 per month.
eMed-ID also intends to make the device available for rental.

"It is eMed-ID's goal to provide local communities, including people of all
ages, with medical services and products that improve the quality of
healthcare and save lives. eMed-Trac is another way to ensure the safety of
those who may need a little extra care -- from someone with early stages of
Alzheimer's to a special needs child," said Helgerson. "eMed-Trac can make
all the difference in locating a parent or child quickly and returning them to
safety."

eMed-Trac is the latest addition to eMed-ID's portfolio of life-saving
emergency medical information devices. The company also offers consumers a
Personal Health Record (PHR) USB device that will expedite emergency
responders' treatment of trauma victims or those unable to communicate by
offering immediate access to their personal medical information. eMed-ID
helps consumers avoid life-threatening delays in treatment, medical or
surgical complications, allergic reactions and medication errors. The
portable PHR USB device, utilizing eMed-ID's proprietary software, comes in a
variety of options, including wristbands, credit cards and keychains.

The eMed-ID package is $69.95 and includes the PHR USB device, four eMed-ID
caregiver cards, two eMed-ID In Case of Emergency (I.C.E.) refrigerator cards
and a bound report. In addition, eMed-ID is the only medical identification
product that also provides customers with an optional legally-binding
healthcare surrogate, HIPAA release and living will. The company also
partners with the "Silver Alert" program, modeled after "Amber Alert," to help
protect an increasing number of citizens with cognitive impairments.

In addition, eMed-ID recently launched eMed-Alert, a next-generation personal
assistance voice dialer designed for seniors who may need to call for help in
an emergency. The eMed-Alert system allows the owner to press a single
button on a heart pendant or on the system's base to call for assistance in
three different ways. First, a siren is activated on the voice dialer
console. Then, the personal assistance voice-dialer is enabled to call up to
four phone numbers programmed and play a pre-recorded message to each person.
Finally, the voice dialer allows each person who receives a call to
"listen-in" through the console so they can hear what is happening in the
room. eMed-Alert is available through eMed-ID's franchisee network for $129
with no monthly fees. In the event that family and friends cannot be the
contacts, an optional professional monitoring system is available for a small
monthly fee of $19.95.

Consumers can purchase these products through eMed-ID's franchise network in
cities located throughout Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina,
Oregon and Texas. To find your eMed-ID representative, visit
