The problem BloodAnyTime solves

We will provide a web application that can help people who require blood. They can directly check for the available donors and blood banks near them. The website will work as follows:-

The recipient will search the website for blood information.
The blood banks from the hospitals can register on this website and provide all the required details.
The people who are willing to donate their blood can readily register on the website.

Challenges we ran into

On Blood Collection Side:
Many parts of the country still have the problem of too few voluntary donors.
The other problem is that blood donation camps do not happen all year round and the blood banks face periodic shortage.

On Blood Bank Management Side
Lack of uniform, consistent and up-to-date regulation and policies from the Government with the Department of Drugs and Cosmetics Standard and Control on one end and National AIDS Control organization on the other.
Struggle to compete with blood banks running with commercial motives which tend to influence the organizers of camps - especially in colleges in public blood donation drives by money and incentives.
Inability to transfer blood units between blood banks which sometimes leads to units expiring on shelf.
The difficulty in maintaining quality with low costs - especially in the context of recruiting and retaining professionals who get poached easily
