The inspiration for DonorAid came from the critical need to address the shortage of organ and blood donations, which results in thousands of preventable deaths every year. In South Africa, illegal organ trade and long waiting times for transplants are significant issues that put vulnerable individuals at risk. Our team wanted to create a secure and efficient platform that connects donors and recipients, ensuring that life-saving donations are carried out legally and safely.
DonorAid will be built using a combination of cutting-edge technologies and frameworks to ensure robustness, scalability, and user-friendliness:
Frontend: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: For building a responsive and intuitive user interface. React: To create dynamic and interactive web components. Backend: Node.js and Express.js: For building a scalable and efficient server-side application. MongoDB: To store and manage donor and recipient data securely. Security: OAuth 2.0: For secure authentication and authorization. Encryption: To protect sensitive data and ensure privacy.
