Abstract:
The number of blood donation agencies are limited in developing and developed countries
and it is di cult to nd a blood donor of required blood groups. Patients su er a lot and
death is occurred in most of the times. Emergency situations such as accidents, ongoing
treatments and elective operations create a critical and immediate need for a speci c
blood group. In this regard, the easier availability of blood from nearest locations has
been given a little attention.
In this paper, we present an architecture for and prototype of a blood donation system
using crowdsourcing for smartphones whereby anyone at the nearest location can search
for their desired blood group. There are currently huge number of people using di erent
smartphones of di erent operating systems. The prototype has been built on Android
platforms, android Smartphone with built in GPS will be required to able to use the
service. If and only if a registered user is willing to donate his/her blood system will
send him noti cation of blood donation requests. This system will help users to nd the
nearest blood donor.
Smartphones collect the exact location information using GPS and send it to the
user. Users have to provide their source and destination location for searching the nearest
available donor using mobile crowdsourcing. The user can easily detect the donor without
wasting any time. The entire system search donor within 5Km radius from the requester
location.
In future, we will develop our system more congenial with more features. We will implement the system for di erent platform to make the system more friendly.
