Blood availability during emergency situations remains a major challenge in healthcare systems, where delays in finding compatible donors can lead to critical consequences. Traditional methods of blood request management often depend on manual communication, fragmented donor records, and slow response mechanisms. This paper presents BloodBridge, a real-time emergency blood donation coordination platform designed to improve communication between hospitals and potential donors through a mobile-based ecosystem. The proposed system enables hospitals to generate urgent blood requests by specifying blood group, quantity, and priority level, while nearby eligible donors receive instant notifications and can respond instantly through the application. The platform is developed using React Native for cross-platform mobile deployment, Firebase for authentication and real-time database synchronization, and Map Libre for location-based visualization services. A dual-interface model is implemented, consisting of a donor module and a hospital module, allowing efficient coordination between both stakeholders. Additional features such as emergency availability status, request prioritization, and contribution recognition are incorporated to encourage donor participation and reduce response delays. A functional prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed framework in managing urgent requests, improving workflow transparency, and supporting faster donor-hospital interaction. Unlike conventional donor directory systems, BloodBridge focuses on reducing search-to-action time during emergencies through automated and real-time coordination. The proposed platform offers a scalable and practical solution that can be extended with predictive analytics, live tracking, and broader healthcare integration in future implementations.
KEYWORDS
BloodBridge provides a practical, scalable mobile ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between hospitals and potential blood donors during emergencies. By replacing manual, fragmented processes with a centralized, real-time coordination platform, the system significantly reduces response delays and improves overall workflow transparency. Ultimately, this streamlined approach ensures a faster, more reliable supply of compatible blood units for critical medical situations.
