Mobile-based blood bank and donor management system; Case study: Kaboyo health centre III

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a mobile-based blood bank and donor management system and the main aim of the project is to save lives of the people by providing blood. The system is developed using android so as to bring together donors and those in need of blood in an emergency. The donors as those in need of blood have to register themselves by providing their basic details in the mobile application. When there is a need for blood, the person should raise a request through the mobile application that is visible to all donors. After the request a notification is sent to all donors and the donor can accept or reject the request. This application reduces the time that would have been used in searching for the required blood through the blood banks and hospitals.
