Abstract: A large number of personal healthcare monitoring systems are being researched, designed and tested to improve the health of people suffering from various illness. Bipolar disorder is a severe form of mental illness that is found to effect around 1% of the EU population. It is characterized by alternated episodes of mania and depression, and is typically treated with a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Early detection of these two alternative episodes would be of great help to doctors in providing medical aid to patients before they become maniac or depressed. In this paper we present the MONARCA a smart phone based monitoring system, that facilitates the recognition of early warning signs and predict maniac or depressive episodes. The system is centered around the mobile phone and minimally invasive wearable sensors that is being developed in the framework of the MONARCA European project.

Abstract: One-dimensional (1D) barcode stores data in only one direction (horizontally), whereas in two-dimensional (2D) barcode, data is stored in both the directions (horizontally and vertically). Also, the amount of data that can be stored in 2D barcode is significantly greater than that stored in a 1D barcode. Here, we propose an approach for Baggage Management at Airport using 2D barcode for the first time, so that the baggage(s) of two passengers looking alike will not be interchanged and also misplaced or lost baggage(s) can be handled properly. This approach is also beneficial for the authentication of ticket, boarding pass as well as baggage(s) with the minimum use of the database. For the authentication, we use a unique ID like passport number, PAN number, etc., which is encrypted with a master key (issued by the Airport Authority) in the ticket barcode (encrypted 2D barcode on the ticket), boarding pass barcode (encrypted 2D barcode on boarding pass) and baggage(s) barcode (encrypted
