Connecting blood donors with people in need through a centralized blood donation management platform.
BloodLink is a multi-role blood donation management system designed to streamline blood requests, donor matching, blood bank coordination, and donation workflows. It provides a centralized platform for donors, recipients, blood banks, and administrators to coordinate blood donation activities efficiently.
- Multi-Role Access: Dedicated workflows for Donors, Recipients, Blood Banks, and Administrators.
- Blood-Type-Based Matching: Match blood requests with potential donors based on blood type.
- Request Management: Manage blood requests and coordinate donation assignments.
- Duplicate Assignment Prevention: Request locking helps prevent multiple donors from being assigned to the same request.
- Profile Verification: Admin-controlled profile approval to support platform integrity.
- Real-Time Notifications: SignalR-based notifications for timely updates.
- Internal Messaging: Encrypted internal messaging to facilitate communication between platform users.
- Blood Inventory Management: Track blood inventory and support blood bank operations.
- Certificate Generation: Generate certificates for supported platform activities.
- Audit Logging: Maintain records of relevant platform activities.
- Administrative Dashboard: Monitor users, donation requests, donations, and platform activity.
BloodLink was designed with a focus on maintainability, secure access, and reliable coordination between platform users.
Key engineering considerations include:
- Role-based workflows: Different capabilities for each user role.
- Donor matching: Blood-type-based matching logic.
- Concurrency control: Request locking to reduce conflicting assignments.
- Real-time communication: SignalR for server-pushed notifications.
- Messaging security: Encryption for internal messages.
- Administrative oversight: Profile approval and audit logging.
The project includes the following technologies and capabilities:
- Language: C#
- Real-time Communication: SignalR
- Application Areas: Blood donation management, donor matching, inventory management, and administrative workflows

| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Donor | Participate in the donation workflow and manage donor-related activities. |
| Recipient | Submit and manage blood requests. |
| Blood Bank | Manage blood inventory and coordinate blood-related operations. |
| Administrator | Approve profiles and oversee users, donations, requests, and platform activity. |
- Users register and access the platform according to their assigned roles.
- Donor profiles undergo administrative approval.
- Recipients submit blood requests.
- The platform matches requests with potential donors based on blood type.
- Request locking helps prevent duplicate assignments.
- SignalR notifications keep relevant users informed of updates.
- Blood banks manage inventory, while administrators monitor overall activity.
Finding suitable blood donors and coordinating blood requests can involve fragmented communication, delayed responses, and difficulties tracking request status.
BloodLink aims to centralize these workflows in one system, improving coordination between recipients, donors, blood banks, and administrators.
