Sangue solidário: um sistema de auxílio e gerenciamento de doação de sangue

Abstract

Blood donation is a vital action in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), as it enables the development of blood products that can save the lives of many patients. Despite donation campaigns conducted by Collection and Transfusion Units (UCTs), Brazil still faces a blood supply shortage, particularly in emergency situations. In severe cases, patients often rely on donation campaigns organized by family and friends, which is not always possible. To address this issue, this work proposes the development of a web-based system to support and manage blood donations, encouraging broader participation. The platform allows users to register their donations, locate the nearest UCT, schedule appointments, and assess their eligibility through a questionnaire similar to the pre-donation screening. Additionally, the system includes an administrative panel for managing ongoing blood donation campaigns.
