Design And Implementation of a Web Platform for Enhancing Blood Donation and Supply Chain Management in Ghana

Project Description
Supervisor

Healthcare depends on blood donation to help save countless patients with life-saving blood. Nevertheless, in Ghana the process has several impediments thereby being characterized by poor donor turnout, information deficit, and poor supervisory management of the blood supply chain. These problems cause extreme shortage of blood in the hospitals, leading to life danger. First, these challenges are addressed by this project, which involves the design and implementation of a web platform to improve blood donation and blood supply chain management in Ghana. Donors will be able to sign up easily, make apptoointments and follow up on their donation, hospitals will be able to request different blood types in real time. Improved inventory management coordination with hospitals will derive benefits for the Ghana Blood Bank. Further, the platform will have an educational module which aims at spreading public awareness about blood donation. It is the expected outcome that blood donation process that leads to a streamlined, efficient, and reliable blood donation process which creates room for efficient healthcare delivery in Ghana.

Web App Development: Web Development research in Computer Science and Information Technology focuses on the design, creation, and optimization of websites and web applications that are accessible over the internet or private networks. This research area spans a variety of topics, including front-end and back-end development, web frameworks, web performance, user experience (UX) design, security, and emerging web technologies. Front-end development research explores the design and functionality of the user-facing side of web applications. This involves studying languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js, which help create dynamic, responsive, and interactive user interfaces. Researchers in this area often focus on improving the accessibility and usability of websites across different devices and browsers. Back-end development focuses on the server side of web applications, where databases, server logic, and application functionality are managed. Research in this area includes database management, server configuration, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and the use of frameworks such as Node.js, Django, and Ruby on Rails. It also involves optimization of server-side processes to handle large-scale traffic, improve load times, and ensure seamless data processing.

To Develop and deploy an online platform that helps donors schedule giving and providing blood helps hospitals obtain blood from the Ghana Blood Bank while enhancing public understanding of blood donation importance.
