Bridging Blood Donation Gaps Through AI-Powered Donor Support (RedAid)

Abstract

The problem of blood donors is a significant issue because they are not able to access them at the right time because of the lack of a centralized system, donor awareness, and the real-time coordination between hospitals and blood banks on one side and the individuals on the other side. The situations of emergency are usually critical as the recipients experience difficulty in finding compatible donors within a short time. RedAid is a smartphone-based app that will enhance access to blood donation in Pakistan through AI. The platform matches donors with the most appropriate donors available in real-time through the use of real-time GPS tracking, AI-based donor prediction, and emergency alert mechanisms. The platform is built on Flutter that supports cross-platform and Firebase that manages the back end. RedAid also seeks to cut down drastically the time required to search donors, enhance response in case of an emergency, and motivate voluntary blood donation with awareness and available digital solutions. The project establishes the basis of the subsequent features, such as hospital integration, blood stock monitoring, and prediction of the donor behavior based on the AI. RedAid intends to develop a user-friendly, secure, and scalable blood donation ecosystem that can be used by the general population, hospitals, and blood banks as well as an emergency response team.
