Blood Donation System for an Institution

Abstract

This project aims to develop an efficient blood donation management system for institutions, addressing the limitations of current manual and fragmented systems. The system will streamline the donor registration, blood collection, inventory management, and distribution processes. The system will incorporate features such as donor eligibility checks, appointment scheduling, and real-time inventory tracking, improving blood availability and reducing wastage. The proposed system is expected to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of blood donation drives within institutions, leading to a more reliable and responsive blood supply chain. The project successfully developed a user-friendly, secure, and scalable web application that fulfills the stated objectives.

Introduction

Blood shortages remain a critical global health challenge, impacting patient care and treatment outcomes. Many institutions rely on manual systems for managing blood donations, leading to inefficiencies, data inaccuracies, and logistical complexities. These systems often lack real-time tracking capabilities, resulting in difficulties predicting demand, managing inventory effectively, and coordinating donation drives. The lack of centralized data also hampers effective donor management and outreach initiatives. Therefore, a robust, automated blood donation management system is crucial to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of blood donation programs within institutions.

Objectives

• To develop a user-friendly web-based application for managing the entire blood donation process within an institution.
• To improve the efficiency and accuracy of blood inventory management and tracking.
• To enhance donor recruitment and retention through a streamlined registration and communication system.
