Abstract: The aim of our project project is to save lives of people people by  providing blood to them whenever required. required. Our project i.e  Blood Donation Application Application using Android studio is developed  so that users can view the information of nearby hospitals,  blood banks and they can also receive blood from various  donors, to monitor the blood groups database and to send the  required blood during the need to our application application users in case  of emergencies. emergencies. We are focusing on building a network of  people who can help each other during an emergency. emergency. We have  provided security for authenticated authenticated users as new users have to  register according according to their requirements requirements and perspectives and existing users have to login. This application regularly updates  the information about the donors and the administrator administrator has  complete access to the information about blood donation  system. The application application that we are developing requires an  active internet connection, it helps to select the nearby hospital  and donors donors instantly by tracing the user’s user’s location using using GPS, it  provides the list of blood blood banks in the users users area. We provide provide an  alert system f or accidents accidents that occur off the cuff by using this  feature, an ambulance ambulance will will be sent to the users users location location and also  a message will be sent to the users f amily and friends, which will let them know that the user has met with an accident without any wastage of time. Thus this application provides the  required information quicker quicker and also helps in giving the right  treatment at at the right time. time.

1.I 1. INTRODUCTION It is estimated that our country has a blood deficit of  between 30% and 35% every year. In a land of 1.2 1. 2 billion  people it's ri diculous to say we can't meet the requirement. "The problem is not insufficient number of donors, but finding a willing donor at the right time. We want to build a network of people who can help each other during an emergency.”. If someone needs blood, first of all he searches it within his family members, then nearest hospitals and blood banks. If they cannot manage blood in these ways, it is really hard for them to contact other  people to collect blood in a short time. That is th e problem we want to solve through our application. Instead of just  providing people who who need blood with an outdated list of regular donors who may or may not be available to help, Our application contacts the right people at the moment a user finds out about the need. Our Blood Donation Management System stores electronic information about the donors and organizations related to donating the  blood[1]. What we ai m for through this application, is that any person interested in donating blood can register

himself as donor. Moreover if any general consumer wants to make request to have blood online, he can also take the help of this system. The main objective of this app is to improve the communication between donors and users and create for them a platform where they can interact with respective hospitals and each other easily, while overcoming the deficiencies of existing

2. LITERATURE REVIEW Existing System This system has proposed an extended web platform to update the information regarding the donors, acceptor and patients. The ad ministrator has access to the whole information about the blood bank management system..Researches at BBMI have defined  blood as the most important element that sustains life. Blood has the capability to save innumerable lives across the world in a variety of situations. Their blood bank management information system offers functionalities to quick access to donor records collected from various parts of the country. They are also providing the efficient search for people who need blood in their respective city as soon as possible[2]. The application we present here provides necessary options to serve people on their emergency need making them free from worrying for blood by providing l ot of donors at a single click. The options that are provided  by this application are:  Donor registration and collection of blood.  Blood requisition/issue  User access  Detailed database for donors  Maintain and update unique donor identification  Correlation and cross referencing between between files   Powerful search for donors by blood group, sex, location, telephone number. Feature that allows the app to send various auto-SMS for alerting donor and reminding location and time security services to protect users information. Sending a Distress message to the nearest hospital as soon as an accident occurs to user(SOS Service).Thus, the above mentioned features provide a safe, secure and easy platform for blood donation and emergency services, while also overcoming the draw backs of the existing systems. systems.       

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM The application is an android application and will know where these clients are located and will notify them as soon as a request for a particular blood type is made. The application will have two different logins, one for the common man and another for the hospitals[3]. The

International Journal of EmergingT gTre rends& Technologyin inComputerScience(IJ I JETTC TCS) Web Site: www.ijettcs.org Email: [email protected] Volume 6, Issue 5, September- October 2017 common man while registering will have enter personal details and some information as to whether he is ready to donate blood or not. It is not necessary for a user to donate  blood in order to access the features of the application. While the hospitals, will receive distress requests and also requests for a particular type of blood. Also, the hospitals will have to update the quantity of each type of blood that they have. The application will have a SOS button through which the  person, who is in need of blood or has met an accident, can use this button[4]. As soon as the user presses the button to notify an accident, the app will send a distress request to the nearest hospital and ask them to dispatch an ambulance to the location of the client or where the accident has occurred. If the client is registered with the application, then the app will also notify the hospital with the blood type of the client and later on save time by providing timely treatment[5]. The users once registered can also request for certain type of blood that they or their family member requires. If they request for the particular blood type, the application will  provide the user with the nearest h ospital that has that kind of the blood type, if there are no such hospitals, then a list of nearest individuals will be provided. The application will not only help th e users acquire blood when in need but also calculate their ‘Body Mass Index’ and let them know about their
