iDonate: mobile app blood donation management system

iDonate is a mobile application that is designed to improve the process of blood donation in Malaysia through the replacement of the conventional paper-based system with a more modern and convenient electronic-based system. Donors continue to use written forms and a small red booklet called the "Buku Merah" for recording the history of donation in the current system. Such paper records are easily lost, damaged, or misplaced, and therefore it is not viable for the donors and even the medical professionals to accurately keep the blood donations in check. iDonate bridges this gap with a simple-to-use application where the donors can register themselves, fill out pre-donation questionnaires, view their past donations, and be automatically reminded to donate again when the time has come. The application can also be used by medical professionals to verify donors' information, approve or reject forms, notify, and keep records more effectively. The application saves all the data securely in Firebase database for data security and shared. The only limitation of the app is that it cannot show a realtime blood stock levels because doctors are not authorized to access the national blood database. The methodology used in doing this project is Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) .It Is one of the agile methodology models that can be used to build and maintain a system that need to build in a limited time like iDonate app .Nevertheless, iDonate has useful features that enhance blood donation in terms of safety, speed, and efficiency. In the future, the app can be improved with realtime update, GPS for finding nearby donating centres. In summary, iDonate may result in more regular donation of blood and save more lives with a faster, digitalized process.
