Prototype Design of Android App for Blood Donation

It is expected that the blood of required blood group will be available on demand. However, during certain situations such as accident or surgeries, this demand may be at the peak. Therefore, it may not be possible to make required blood components available to the patient in that crucial time frame. It may happen due to several vital problems such as insufficient blood stocks at the blood bank; delay in receiving required blood; lack of storage, separation, or preservation facilities; and even myths about blood donation. This paper discusses about a paper prototype design of the proposed application (app) for blood donation. A paper prototype for this app is designed based on correlated literature survey as well as peer Android app review. This prototype design includes several facilities such as requesting blood, donating blood, searching the donor, and tracking the donor efficiently. An important concern of this Android app is to spread awareness about blood donation addressing various myths and minimize the time for blood arrival as per user requirement.
