About Our Initiative

What is Blood Connect?

Blood Connect is a student-led social initiative designed to make finding voluntary blood donors easier and faster. The platform connects registered blood donors with people seeking blood through blood group and location-based searching across Tamil Nadu. Our aim is to reduce the critical delay involved in finding a suitable donor during an emergency.

Important Medical Disclaimer

Blood Connect is strictly an intermediary communication platform. We are NOT a blood bank and do not collect, store, test, or handle blood. All medical screenings, compatibility tests, and transfusion safety procedures must be verified by certified hospitals.

How Blood Connect Works

A privacy-focused 3-step workflow designed to connect donors and patients in minutes.

Send Blood Request

Submit an urgent request specifying the hospital name, patient details, urgency level, and units required. The donor receives an instant notification.

Real-time In-app & SMS alert

Donor Accepts & Connects
