Dynamic Blood Allocation and Management System with Individual Donor Accounts

Abstract

The present invention is a comprehensive blood donation management system structured in a three-tier architecture comprising a Administration tier, a blood bank tier, and a donor tier. The Administration tier manages a centralized blood bank database, processes blood requests, and allocates units using a real-time algorithm, while providing reporting, analytics, and notifications. The blood bank tier features inventory management to track stock and expiration dates, handles blood allocation and donation management, and provides feedback through reporting. The donor tier enables donors to manage accounts, schedule donations, request blood units, and receive notifications. The system enhances blood donation efficiency and awareness, optimizes inventory management, and streamlines communication among donors, blood banks, and Administration authorities, ultimately aiming to reduce blood scarcity and improve overall donation processes

Specification

Description:The system operates through the seamless integration of the three tiers, each serving a specific role:
1. Administration Side:
o Blood banks register with the Administration tier, which collects and stores comprehensive data
about each blood bank's inventory and location.
o When a donor or healthcare facility requests blood, the Administration tier's request
management system evaluates available blood units across all registered blood banks.
o An allocation algorithm determines the best match for the request, considering factors such as
blood type compatibility, inventory levels, and urgency.
o Notifications are sent to relevant blood banks and donors to confirm the allocation and update
them on the status of their request.
1. Donor Side:
o Donors create accounts and provide personal and medical information, allowing them to manage
their donation history and preferences.
o They can schedule appointments to donate blood at their preferred time and location, increasing
convenience and participation.
o Donors needing blood can request units through the system, specifying their requirements and
receiving notifications about their request status.
1. Blood Bank Side:
o Blood banks process allocation requests from the administration tier and update their inventory
accordingly, maintaining accurate records.
The invention Blood banks receive donated blood, which is registered and entered into
the inventory management system.
• The system tracks the expiration dates of blood units to ensure timely usage and avoid wastage.
thus offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges of blood donation and management , enhancing the
efficiency and effectiveness of blood supply systems. , Claims:Claim 1: Three-Tier Blood Management System
Donor-Tier: Where individual donors or families register and maintain blood bank accounts for personal
use or family deposits.
Administration Tier: A centralized verification system ensuring that blood donations and requests are
processed securely.
Blood Bank Tier: Where blood units are stored, managed, and distributed through real-time inventory
tracking and automated request fulfillment.
2. Claim 2: Individual Blood Bank Accounts
A system that enables individuals to create personal blood bank accounts where donated blood units can
be deposited for future use by themselves or designated family members, ensuring personalized blood
management.
3. Claim 3: Family Blood Deposit and Management System
A method for managing family blood deposits, allowing donors to allocate blood units to a shared family
account. This ensures that any member of the family can withdraw blood units during medical
emergencies.
4. Claim 4: Blood Request System in Emergency Situations
A system that allows registered blood donors or individuals with blood bank accounts to request blood in
emergency situations. The system verifies the request using the National Blood Transfusion Council
(NBTC) guidelines and provides priority allocation from blood bank inventories.
5. Claim 5: Blood Request Approval and Verification by NBTC
A feature that integrates with administration health databases (such as NBTC) to validate and approve
blood requests made by users or blood bank accounts, ensuring adherence to national health policies and
availability protocols.
6. Claim 6: Secure Blood Unit Deposit and Retrieval
A method that enables users with blood bank accounts to securely deposit blood units into the system,
either for personal use, family use, or general blood bank availability, and to retrieve those units in the
event of verified medical need.
7. Claim 7: Real-Time Inventory Management System for Blood Units
A real-time inventory management system integrated with multiple blood banks, allowing tracking of
blood units, monitoring of expiration dates, and managing the distribution of available blood across
regions based on demand and supply.
