Inspiration
Thousands of Thalassemia patients in India face difficulties accessing regular blood and support. We were inspired to create a tech-based, scalable solution to help them live healthier lives.
What it does
BloodBridge+ connects Thalassemia patients with nearby blood donors in real time. It also provides AI-powered care guidance and seamless communication with healthcare providers.
How we built it
We used React Native for the front end, Node.js for the backend, and integrated AI models in Python for donor prediction and chatbot support. Firebase handles real-time data, with secure APIs and cloud hosting.
Challenges we ran into
API access from government platforms like e-RaktKosh posed limitations. Ensuring data privacy while designing an easy-to-use app for diverse users was also challenging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built a working prototype that connects all key stakeholders—patients, donors, and caregivers—through a unified platform. Predictive donor availability and gamified tracking were key achievements.
What we learned
We learned how powerful AI can be in healthcare logistics. We also gained deeper insight into the real-world challenges faced by NGOs and patients in rural areas.
What's next for BloodBridge+
We plan to pilot the solution in partnership with Blood Warriors in selected regions. Future updates will include multilingual support, doctor dashboards, and donor recognition programs.
