Blood Bag Request Tracking Application: a Case Study of PMI Surabaya

Blood is an important thing in the human body, if lack of blood can be fatal and even cause death. If a person lacks blood, it can be helped by doing a blood transfusion from someone else. The government and the Red Cross conducted a blood donation process to meet this need. Hospitals and people who need blood bags can submit a request to the Red Cross. The submission of this request is done by filling out a paper form or by telephone, there is still no application that supports submitting an online request. This is very necessary considering the speed of service to requests for blood bags is very necessary, considering this is related to a persons life. This study tries to develop a prototype application that provides an online blood bag request service so that the blood bag requester can monitor whether the request is accepted, rejected (not available), or is in the process of being sent, and so on. From testing on potential users, a total score of 3.60 was obtained (from a maximum value of 4). So it can be concluded that this application prototype is needed to be developed on the existing problems.
