Digital Solutions for Community Health: Enhancing Blood Donation with Mobile Technology
Blood is one of the most vital ingredients in the carrying out of various activities in the body, but in most cases the supply is lacking, and this is even as it compares with other countries. Our solution is not so bad and really helps to satisfy this requirement. They include name, phone number, age, weight, date of birth, blood type and address which are easily entered through the interface. For instance, during an emergency, such as irrespective of the emergency type, the app employs GPS to search for blood donors. Those people, who may require certain blood type, can easily find out the profile of potential blood donors and can get in touch with the same. Further, once a donor agrees to donate goods the employer requests the donor to provide a one-time password OTP. To keep the donor information current the app deletes the donor details from the data base three months after a blood donation. This blood donation app built using flutter with an emphasis on user interface, uses Google Maps API for GPS and Firebase for back end service which includes Firestore and Cloud Functions to ensure data safety.
