Inspiration Thalassemia is a lifelong battle—one that shouldn’t be made harder by the lack of timely blood or fragmented healthcare. Inspired by stories of patients struggling to find donors at critical times, and the incredible work of Blood Warriors, we wanted to create a centralized, AI-powered platform to bring together donors, patients, and doctors. Our goal: faster blood access, stronger care networks, and smarter systems.
What We Learned How to use machine learning to predict donor availability using time-series donation data. The importance of data privacy and compliance with Indian healthcare laws (e.g., DPDP Act). Real-world constraints of integrating with government APIs like e-RaktKosh. Designing for high-stress, life-critical scenarios with a user-first mindset.
How We Built It Created a React.js web app and Flutter mobile app for patients, donors, and doctors. Built a Node.js + Express backend with real-time Firebase integration. Trained a prototype AI model in Python using mock donor data to predict likely availability. Used Google Maps API for geo-matching patients and donors. Integrated mock e-RaktKosh API calls to simulate real-time syncing. Designed a gamified donor dashboard to reward recurring donors and boost engagement.
Challenges Getting access to real donor datasets and APIs was a limitation—so we simulated data based on research. Ensuring AI accuracy with limited training data. Balancing user simplicity with complex backend coordination. Designing for multiple user types—patients, donors, and doctors—without overwhelming the UI. Maintaining end-to-end encryption and secure data flows.
