Blood Circle: Online Facilitation for Blood Donation Programs 

Abstract

Many blood donation programs are conducted throughout the country. Serious efforts are being made to collect blood from institutionalized sectors, governmental and non-governmental offices to fulfill the increasing demand of blood. Still, such programs are publicized with the help of pamphlets and other old fashioned methods which can be a tedious task. Also, keeping track of the events and maintaining the records of the donors are not easier for the organizers.
Blood Circle is an online system that helps in managing various operations of blood donation programs effectively. The project consists of a central repository containing details about various blood donation sites, blood donors and organizers. These details include site information, donor information and schedules of the event. These details help in maintaining and monitoring the blood deposits and donors during the event. Moreover the system provides synchronized and centralized donor and blood related details database to the organizers. The users can also view the donation event’s schedule and location with the use of interactive web-portal. So, they have the ability to choose the appropriate location to donate the blood from the available sites.
With the expansion of health services, blood donation events are organized to meet the demand of the blood. The organizers can keep up with the technological advances while making their tasks even easier maintaining and organizing the event with the help of this online system.
