The Blood Donor App puts the power to save lives in the palm of your hand. Donating blood, will now be easier than ever. I conducted research on the view and imagined the experience to address some existing pain points.

Many people are looking for blood donations via social media platforms. The message is asking for help from anyone with a match blood type to donate blood. Most of them need immediate blood transfusions for family or relations. Why isn’t there a platform for connections between patients and donors to make finding blood easier?

Wireframing

User Flow

After understanding how an application should work in general, I must understand how an application should work specifically. I create user flow which allows me to look at the decision a user would have to make and gain.

Paper Wireframes

I did a quick ideation exercise to come up with ideas for how to address gaps identified in the competitive audit. My focus was specifically on easily finding donor and patient while keeping in mind the user tasks and pain points I had collected so far

Usability Test and Findings

By going through the survey results and personas, I found that the following are some of the main pain points we can tackle to elevate the whole blood donation experience.

I defined three most common themes according to the user testings. The main user needs are:

01
Usability study as Blood Donors

01
Usability study as Blood Donors

Awareness

Users lack education about blood donations and need to get information about blood donation places and schedules.

Informatıon

Users only get information
on social media
Health problems become a problem to do blood donation

02
Usability study as Recipient

02
Usability study as Recipient

Awareness

Users need to do it manually to get
bloodstocks (ask their relatives, make a campaign on social media, and hospitals.

Informatıon

It’s hard to get bloodstocks because of the unavailability of blood stocks, unmatched blood type, and faraway place to get blood stocks

I learned that even though the problem I was trying to solve was a big one, diligently going through each step of the design process and aligning with specific user needs to be helped me come up with solutions that were both feasible and useful. 


Users shared that the app made donating
blood more accessible and more fun. One quote from peer feedback was that “I am sure that this app will
help save many lives”
