BloodStore

BloodStore is an application which bridges the gap between the donors and the needy. It solves the various constraints of blood donation by displaying the nearby blood requests to the donors which is prioritized based on the user's location. There are a very few loyal donors who donate on regular basis. Hence, BloodStore encourages the occasional and first time donors to donate for the needy at the time of emergency thereby increasing the number of blood donors in the society. The main reason cited by around 17% of people for not donating is "never thought about it", while 15% say they are "too busy". Therefore, BloodStore solves the various constraints of blood donation like difficulty to travel a long distance for donation, not having time to donate and also motivate the people who don’t think about donating.
