The Development and Impact of a Blood Unity Application

This research focuses on the development and impact of a Blood Unity Application. Blood shortage is still a major problem in the medical sector. Emergencies come as last minute requirements and are very crucial. Inadequate blood and compatability problems make it difficult to manage the blood supply effectively. Sometimes, a lack of awareness and communication causes those who might be eager to donate to be unaware of the efforts that are running. To avoid these challenges we have designed an app which acts as a bridge between the donors and the people in need. In this paper, we present an overview of a website and a mobile application designed for blood donation. It is a user- friendly application where we collaborate the donors and hospitals to the people in need. By creating this application, we can assure a safe and secure blood transfusion. Anyone in need of blood at any time can download this app right away and use it to locate nearby donors who have the necessary blood type. We make the donors contact information available through the app to all registered users, enabling them to get in touch with them directly in case of emergency. We have also made a website similar to the app to use through PCs or Laptops from anywhere and at anytime. The website was developed through HTML, CSS, Bootstrap at frontend and PHP, MYSQL at backend and Angular Java Script at control end. The app was developed using Apache Cordova.
