Developing A Winning Donor Management Solution

Blood Warriors collaborates with REAN Foundation to automate blood donation

Blood Warriors is a non-profit organization that endeavours to enact sustainable policy-level changes for those suffering from Thalassemia. Their goal is to prevent the tragic loss of life due to a lack of medical support or emergency blood supplies for Thalassemia patients. As part of this mission, they have launched Blood Bridge, an initiative aimed at connecting blood donors with Thalassemia patients in need.

Thalassemia is a treatable disorder that can be well-managed with blood transfusions.

Around 4.4 out of every 10,000 live births throughout the world are affected by this disease.

We are thrilled to collaborate with REAN Foundation to streamline the process of soliciting blood donations for Thalassemia Patients. This automation will greatly expand our reach, enabling us to connect with a larger pool of donors and patients. Leveraging the REAN team's technical acumen and in-depth understanding of the domain, we were able to swiftly design a user-friendly blood donor management platform using the WhatsApp Chat assistant eco-system. This partnership brings us one step closer to realizing our vision of aiding those suffering from Thalassemia.

What is Thalassemia?

Thalassemia occurs when your body produces less hemoglobin than average due to an inherited blood disorder. Red blood cells carry oxygen thanks to hemoglobin. This disorder destroys a large number of blood cells, leading to anemia.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Thalassemia is a common genetic disorder in India, with an estimated frequency of about 10% in the general population

A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research in 2017 estimated the frequency of Thalassemia in the general population of India to be around 8.5%

The Indian Thalassemia Society estimates that there are about 10 million Thalassemia carriers and about 1 million Thalassemia patients in India

The Challenge

One of the biggest challenges that Thalassemia patients face is the need for regular blood transfusions. The disorder becomes extremely difficult to manage when blood donors are required on a regular basis. Some of the major hurdles with Thalassemia include:

Late or sudden requests for blood donation.

Lack of responsive blood donors.

Manual intervention by volunteers for follow-ups.

Vector image for inability to reach patients.

Inability to reach a larger number of patients.

Lack of awareness amongst donors about Thalassemia.

Vector image for new donor registration.

New donors need to be registered regularly to maintain the pool.
