“It might be possible to save lives if a blood donor is available in time. The idea is to create the largest user base in terms of blood donors and of blood banks which are available to people at the click of a button,

While cities are relatively well connected, it is often difficult to find donors or obtain blood in rural areas.

This app is used with GPS technology, it enables users to connect with registered blood donors in their area immediately. When a requirement is intended through this app, a willing donor will approach immediately.

For starters, a person can donate blood if he/she is in:

Good health

Weighs at least 50 kgs

Is not pregnant

Possess a valid government-issued photo ID

Also remember:

One cannot donate if the person has a cold, flu, sore throat, cold sore, stomach bug or any other infection. A recent tattoo or body piercing also does not allow blood donation for 6 months from the date of the procedure. However, if the body piercing was performed by a registered health professional and any inflammation has settled completely, you can donate blood after 12 hours.

If a person has a minor dental procedure done, then he/she must wait 24 hours before donating; for major work wait a month.

One must not donate blood if he/she does not meet the minimum haemoglobin level for blood donation.

Furthermore, people must not give blood if they have engaged in 'risky' sexual activity during last 12 months, have tested positive for HIV and injected recreational drugs.
