Analysis on the Development of an Android App for the Management of Blood and Organ Donations

Abstract

Blood and organ donation are considered noble acts of helping mankind. Yet, one major challenge for the involved agencies is finding the exact blood group and needed specific organ at the required time and situation. This paper deals with the development of an Android app aiming to address this problem by tracking the donors and managing the donation process through Cloud computing. The app is designed in such a way that any person who is willing and eligible to donate blood or organs registers their information, which is preserved in the Cloud. It is capable of sending alerts to available donors whenever there’s a patient that needs a particular organ or blood (i.e., with specific details). The utilization of the Cloud for data storage enables the app to be more efficient as compared with the traditional blood and organ donor banks.
