Find Blood is a mobile app I designed inspired by my own real-life experience. It connects people in need of blood with nearby donors, especially during emergencies or before scheduled operations. Users can request specific blood types, browse donor profiles by proximity, and plan ahead so that the required blood is secured before surgery dates. The goal is to streamline urgent requests, reduce delays, and help save lives by making donor-recipient matching faster, more reliable, and more accessible.

I designed this project from start to finish, conducting research, creating user flows, building prototypes, and testing the experience to streamline urgent requests, reduce delays, and help save lives by making donor-recipient matching faster, more reliable, and more accessible.

1
Research
Based on my personal Observation
2
Reviewed Relevant apps
I have surfed for relevant websites from the hospitals to get an idea of how it will work and the whole pipe line.
3
Persona & Empathy Mapping
Based on the research insights, I have created the personas that I have attached below.
4
User Task Flow
To define the step-by-step journey users take within "First Blood" to complete key tasks, ensuring a seamless, intuitive, and goal-oriented experience.
5
Wire framing & Prototyping
Created the UI structure and did the prototyping for the same using Adobe XD and Illustrator (for illustration works)

ID number confirms that this profile is verified and the same ID number will be available at the all the hospital servers to cross verify.
2
Donor can show their availability by unlocking this button, which will be reflected at the recipient screen.
3
Can switch between Donor and Recipient.
4
Donor can see the request popping up at their screen.
5
Can view the reviews given by the recipients.
Recipients can create and share the request to the donors available nearby
It will offer the donors list based upon the filters applied.
Easy way to apply filters which will help the recipients to save time.

Problem Statement
In college in Coimbatore, I often helped arrange blood donors—both experienced and new, but found managing eligibility (last donation dates), matching donors/recipients, and coordinating everything was time-consuming and error-prone. Many donors forgot when they last donated, which created delays in emergencies. Find Blood is my solution: an app to let donors and recipients connect directly, keep track of donation history and next eligible date, and find help quickly when it matters most.

UI & PROTOTYPING
For Find Blood, I designed a clean, trust-centred UI that prioritises speed and clarity, especially under emergency conditions. I began with low-fidelity sketches and wireframes to map core flows like donor search, blood type request, and nearby filters. Then I moved to high-fidelity interactive prototypes (using Adobe XD) with imaginary content, profiles, and map integrations, to simulate the real user experience.
have cross verified with few of our friends and got suggestions which helped me to further improvise the user experience.
The process emphasised minimal friction, intuitive interaction, and reliability of information—so users can request blood quickly, confidently, and with minimal stress.
