Abstract:
LifeCycle is an android mobile app. It helps needy patients to search blood donors and manage
blood easily in their city or area. Users can search donors from their current location or any
other location in Bangladesh. According to their preferred distance, available nearest donors
will be shown on map or lists. Then users can send blood request to donors and nearest donors
will receive notification about the request. Upon acceptance the requester will receive return
notification with donor phone number and other details. Besides, users can send blood request
to admin, see blood requests’ status, write to doctor, call hotline number in emergency
situation, search doctor/hospital in their city or area, chat live with admins, share photos while
donating blood and, change donation availability. Additionally, there are two other interface
for doctors and admins. This app connects blood donors and patients ensuring easy
communication. We noticed people looking for blood donors by social media or mobile which
sometimes fails to manage blood in time. LifeCycle ensures reliability and several options for
patients to manage blood.
