ABSTRACT
The Blood Donation Website - ApnaBlood is a web-based platform designed to
bridge the gap between blood donors and recipients. It ensures transparency,
affordability, and efficiency in blood distribution by leveraging technology. The
platform facilitates quick and reliable blood donation through Aadhaar-
authenticated verification, enhances search functionality with location-based
filters, ensures data security and compliance with Indian IT regulations, and
provides a scalable and user-friendly experience. Motivated by the lack of
transparency and the exploitation of patients by middlemen, ApnaBlood aims to
create a fair and accessible blood distribution network across India. The system is
technically feasible using modern web technologies like React.js, Node.js, and
Firebase, and economically viable due to reduced costs. It introduces features such
as real-time notifications, donor history tracking, and secure authentication. The
project bridges critical gaps in the blood donation ecosystem and provides a much-
needed, efficient solution.
