A project that connects voluntary blood donors and blood banks to those in need of blood and facilitates blood donation while promoting the cause of voluntary blood donation

The problem Rakt Nidhi solves

More than 12000 people die daily in India alone due to the lack of availability of blood, our project aims to reduce this number by taking multiple steps:

Stage 1:
• Build a platform that connects the people in need of blood to voluntary blood donors
• Preserve the privacy of donors, unlike most platforms in existence
• Facilitate the process of blood donation by notifying users of upcoming camps and allowing them to book appointments
• Incentivize and promote the cause of blood donation

Stage 2:
• Connect with NGOs and Charitable Blood Banks
• Ease the communication between the kin of patients and blood banks
• Improve inter-bank cooperation by integrating their inventory systems in our project, this will allow us to notify prospective donors if the bank near them is facing a shortage
• Implement a donor card facility that will allow a donor to receive blood in future if it is needed without the need for replacement donation

Stage 3:
• Integrate hospitals into our system
• Streamline the process from the request of blood to the transfusion by using the synergies of our network
• Improve the incentives of blood donation, and form a community of our own

Challenges we ran into

The first hurdle was learning to use firebase and use authentication along with data store, the internetbhelped in this regard

Since our idea was finalized very late, we got less time to work on the prototype and it didn't turn out to be as good as we had hoped.

We didn't have anyone experienced with video editing, so making a video was also very difficult for us, but we managed to pull through using teamwork
