A Web-based blood donation and Medical Monitoring System Integrating Cloud services and Mobile Application

Medical monitoring requires instant visibility across data sources and access to dynamic analyses. However medical monitoring among patients, perform in-stream medical advice, remains a challenging problem. Blood banks suffer frequent shortage of blood due to lack of blood donations, hence blood donation requests are frequently seen on social media for patients who urgently require blood transfusion with specific blood group. Recently, worldwide efforts have been undertaken to utilize social media and smart phone applications to make the blood donation process more convenient and provide a concrete information system that allows donors and blood donation centers to communicate efficiently and coordinate with each other to minimize time and effort required for blood donation process. This paper aims at developing a Cloud medical monitoring and Web-Based Blood Donation System which will allow blood donors and patients to offer/request blood donation from blood banks. Additionally, a new method is proposed for continuous observation and communication among doctors and patients. Using IOT cloud platform, simple medical devices equipped with medical sensors can monitor health status of patients and update the electronic medical records of patients’ information. Medical experts can remotely monitor patients dynamic status and give prompt medical advice. The developed Web-Based application utilizes a cloud based hosting platform to enhance system performance and ensure high availability. A mobile application has been developed where users will be able to use as an application installed on their smart phones to help them complete blood donation process with minimum effort and time. This application helps people receive remotely medical advices and helps establish a blood donation community through social networks. This paper also presents various tools that were used to measure system performance.
