Introduction
In this age of wisdom and modernity ironically the greatest predicament that exists is that the cost of living and saving lives has become higher, and unfortunately life itself has lost its worth to us. Numerous blood donors’ societies are there in Pakistan and in the world as a whole. But very few online systems exists that could help humanity well in time and save precious lives.
Related Studies
“And whose saveth the life of one; it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind” (Al-Quran). The best one among you is that who is most beneficial to others (Prophet Muhammad –P.B.U.H.).
The literature shows that the need to collect enough blood and to make it available for patients is more acute in developing countries. Many patients, especially women and children, die because of lack of blood or are infected when transfused with unsafe blood. This occurs often in remote areas, which lack facilities for blood collecting, storing and processing.
Online System Development
This system was developed through various phases, like data collection, designing, coding, testing and implementation. Test data was acquired from the record of the Blood Donor Society, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan. Numerous books, articles, were thoroughly studied along with checking different web sites to get help for changing thoughts into reality. It was felt that there is a dire need of development of an online system to fulfill the requirements of blood to patients. This software was developed through using ASP, XML, Java and SQL SERVER. Phases to develop this system followed as: System study, requirement analyses, data acquisition, designing, coding, testing and implementation. Prototype type system development approach was used, i.e.
Results and Discussions
Various reports were generated through this prototype software. The reports were generated both in tabular as well as in graphical form. This system generates various reports as:
1. Registered Donors
2. Blood Donated Report
3. Donors’ Confirmation Report
4. Donors Recipient Report
5. Areas-wise and blood groups-wise Report
6. Frequently Asked Questions
7. Comments and Suggestions
8. Gender-wise Analysis
9. Professional-wise Analysis
10. City-wise Analysis
Conclusions & Further Research
Computers are gradually becoming accepted in about every field of life, like business environment, health, industries, and research environment. Within these application areas, online systems appear to have become most suitable for health care and life saving processes. The proposed system is able to manipulate these real facts. These analyses reports show that most of the peoples are unaware of the utility of such activities. In this context seminars and wide publicity is required both in male and female.
