Abstract - Blood transfusion saves lives. But many patients requiring blood transfusion in emergency situations do not have timely access to blood which might end up risking their lives. The purpose of this project is to develop an app capable of finding nearest blood donors during emergencies. It also provides a platform to connect Local Blood donors to patients. During medical emergencies there might be a sudden need of blood in large quantities which might not be available in blood banks. During times like this our blood donor app will be of great use in finding matching donors nearby. Hospitals can raise emergency requests. once a request is raised nearby donors are notifiedof the need. Here we use a Google Distance matrix which finds distance between to pin codes to identify the nearest donor. They might accept or reject the request. Apart from this individual user can also raise request when there isan emergency need. All these requests are legitimate as all users that is The Hospitals, donors and individual requesters are all registered and are verified. As the app is used primarily during emergencies it has the ability to save a number of lives
