Now a day every information is stored and shared on the cloud. And so the medical record especially Personal Health Record (PHR) is an important part of health information exchange, that is need to be stored at cloud servers. But there are various privacy problems as personal health information could be discovered to unauthorized people. That need guarantee of the patient control over to their own PHRs, in this method encryption of the PHRs is done before the storage on cloud. But still issues like risks of privacy, efficiency in key administration, flexible access and efficient user administration, have still remained the important challenge toward achieving better, cryptography imposed data access control. In this research development, we develop a mechanism for control of data access to PHRs stored in cloud servers. To achieve this efficient and modular data access control for PHRs, we provide encryption approach for the encryption to each PHR file. For this system method already tried to focus on the multiple data ownership scheme also dividing the users into security domains that highly reduce the key management complication for owners and users. Here the system takes patient privacy as serious issue and guaranteed it by exploiting multi-authority Encryption. Our main aim is not only privacy but also systems scheme try to enable modification of access policies or file attributes, and break-glass access under emergency situations. Our proposed scheme shows Extensive analysis and experimental results are presented for security and efficiency of PHR.

Baby Near is the project created to assist parents to monitor their children in open or closed environments, mainly with crowds, such as supermarkets, malls, playgrounds, among others. The prototype consists of two ends that communicate with each other by Bluetooth, one with a smartphone and another with an Arduino. If the distance between them is highier than the one set by the parents, the cellphone device emits sounds, vibrations and changes on screen that alert the parent that the distance has been exceeded. In addition, the end of the Arduino also has a short distance electronic tag that can be used by parents to insert information relevant to the child's finder. In this way, the system brings to the parents more speed in the detection of an emergency situation due to the increase of the distance of the child.
