Design and implementation of short message service (SMS) based blood bank

Short message service (SMS) blood bank provides the communication platform among the blood bank, blood donor and the person who require blood. The main purpose of the paper is to fulfill the blood request of the receptor with less hardship. In the existing systems the blood receptor will have to contact the blood bank and the blood donors individually which goes through time. Hence the proposed work aims to overcome this problem by allowing the receptor to simply send SMS in a predefined format, if the requested blood group is available at blood bank then the receptor will get contact details of the blood bank otherwise, he gets the contact numbers of the registered blood donors available at local database. The motivated individuals who are willing to donate blood can register his name by sending SMS, these data will be maintained in local database. The proposed work is implemented by using GSM modem, smart card CPU-Raspberry Pi 2 kit and IR sensors and Zigbee module.
