Availability of blood is a crucial requirement in many cases such as accidents and surgeries. Medical disorders such as cancer, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and anemia frequently require blood transfusions for their regular treatments. Thus, many times people need to suffer a lot due to the unavailability of blood during emergence. Also, surveys found that 6 lakh units of blood get wasted every year due to improper storage systems. This paper presents the development of an Android application for blood donation management, named ‘Jeevanam’ that is markedly designed as a connecting link between donors and people in need of blood. The application will help the user to search for the blood donor of their desired blood group near their location. The application maintains a database of blood donors belonging to different blood groups. The application is built using Java, and the database is managed using Firebase. It has a geolocation feature that enables the user to look for the proximity of the donor from their location. Additionally, the application has a provision to locate the nearest blood banks in the vicinity. The voluntary donors will get notified about the blood donation drives being carried out. Moreover, the application maintains the donation history of the donor and monitors their eligibility for upcoming donations by carrying out certain virtual checkups. The checkups include a questionnaire that will examine the health of the donor before accepting the donation requests. Thus, the application helps in minimizing the wastage of blood, enhances the awareness of blood donation, and users can obtain their required blood group; hence, the efficiency of the blood donation process is increased.
