BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Blood donation plays a crucial role in saving lives by providing necessary support in medical emergencies, surgeries, trauma care, and treatment of various diseases. A reliable and efficient blood donation process ensures timely availability of blood and its components to patients in need. Over the years, various campaigns and awareness programs have increased public participation in blood donation. However, the process still largely depends on manual work, qualified health professionals, and traditional methods of drawing and handling blood from donors.

[0003] Traditionally, blood donation is carried out in hospitals, clinics, or mobile donation camps where a healthcare worker manually assists the donor throughout the process. This includes manual vein location, blood parameter testing using separate devices, and the use of basic chairs or static beds. Also, critical data such as donor history or health condition is either recorded manually or entered into standalone systems after the donation. These conventional systems have not evolved significantly to incorporate automation, digital tracking, or real-time data integration.

[0004] One of the major drawbacks of the traditional blood donation process is that it requires constant supervision and availability of trained staff. Additionally, manual processes can lead to human error, inefficiencies, discomfort for donors, and delays in decision-making. There is often a lack of integrated systems for collecting real-time health data or of providing predictive feedback to ensure donor safety. Moreover, existing infrastructure does not support personalized adjustments for donor comfort or easy access to historical donation records by healthcare providers. These limitations highlight the need for a more efficient, automated, and intelligent system for blood donation.

The ultrasonic device provides an ultrasonic image of inside of the limb of the patient to provide location data on the position and depth of a vein in the limb. The processor is configured to use the location data to move the insertion tip of the venipuncture tool into the vein of the patient.

[0007] Conventionally, many systems are available for collecting blood for blood donation. However, the cited prior arts pertain to certain limitation, where primarily focus on basic collection without ensuring comprehensive automation, seamless data integration, or real-time monitoring. These approaches often lack adaptability for donor comfort, predictive safety measures, and efficient record management. Consequently, existing methods remain dependent on manual intervention, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and limited support for advanced healthcare needs.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of enhancing efficiency, ensuring donor safety, and minimizing human error. The system should integrate automation, real-time monitoring, and data management while prioritizing donor comfort.

[0024] The system as disclosed herein comprises an application with a user interface installed on a computing unit, the application is synchronized with a cloud-based application. The cloud application operates on a scalable server less communication framework, and the synchronization enables the cloud-based application to provide real-time feedback and predictive suggestions to a user intending to donate blood. A processing module integrated with the system and embedded with machine learning (ML) protocols.

[0025] The application synchronizes with the cloud-based application running on the scalable server less communication framework, enabling dynamic allocation of computing resources based on workload. The processing module, embedded with machine learning (ML) protocols, continuously analyzes user data and system inputs to generate predictive suggestions and real-time feedback for blood donation.

[0026] The computing unit that is inbuilt with the user-interface and accessed by the user for enabling the user to give input commands for real-time feedback and predictive suggestions to a user intending to donate blood The user interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard, or other input methods available on the computing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, laptop, tablet.

[0027] The communication module mentioned herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used in the system is preferably the Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. The communication module connects to a network via an access point, converting digital data into radio signals. The module processes TCP/IP protocols for data exchange, interfaces with microcontrollers through UART/SPI, and ensures encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards for secure and efficient wireless connectivity. This setup ensures efficient, real-time decision-making and automated coordination of blood donation processes.

[0028] The system further comprises a bed 101 fabricated of multiple segments equipped with motorized hinges, wherein the segments are adjustable according to the requirements of a patient. The bed 101 is fabricated of multiple rigid segments arranged longitudinally to provide modular support for the patient. Each segment is designed to maintain structural integrity while allowing independent movement if required. The bed 101 frame is constructed from durable materials to support varying patient weights and ensure stability during use. The segments are aligned to form a continuous surface for the patient’s body, with ergonomic contours to enhance comfort. The overall design distributes weight evenly across all segments and provides sufficient surface area for patient positioning.

[0029] The motorized hinges use motors to control the movement of connected bed 101 segments, allowing them to move in a converging or diverging manner. Each hinge comprises a mechanical structure enabling rotation or multi-directional movement. The motor is linked to the hinge, providing energy to adjust the angle or position of the attached segments. Upon activation, the linkages within the hinge translate motor energy into rotational or linear motion, causing the segments to converge or diverge as required. The processing module regulates motor operation based on sensor feedback, ensuring precise, automated adjustment of segment positions for optimal patient posture and comfort.

[0030] The bed 101 is hosted on a plurality of telescopic rods 113 regulated by a first ultrasonic sensor to ensure precise height and posture adjustments. The telescopic rods 113 mentioned herein comprise a nested tube arrangement with multiple hollow tubes connected concentrically, enabling controlled extension and retraction. The telescopic rods 113 powered by a pneumatic unit consisting of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves, and piston, the system operates automatically. The air compressor draws ambient air, compresses it, and directs pressurized air through the inlet valve into the air cylinder, pushing the piston forward. This forward motion sequentially extends the nested tubes from top to bottom. For retraction, pressurized air is released through the outlet valve, causing the piston to move backward and the tubes to collapse, ensuring precise adjustment of bed 101 height and position.

[0031] The first ultrasonic sensor regulates the telescopic rods 113 of the bed 101 to enable precise height and posture adjustments. The first ultrasonic sensor operates by emitting high-frequency sound waves and measuring the time taken for the echoes to return after reflecting from the bed 101 or reference surfaces. The processing module calculates the distance based on the time-of-flight of the sound waves, providing real-time positional data of the bed 101. This information is used to control the extension or retraction of the telescopic rods 113, ensuring accurate height and tilt adjustments through the application by the user. Continuous monitoring allows dynamic adaptation to maintain patient comfort and proper posture during use.

[0032] The retractable armrest 102 is integrated on a lateral side of the bed 101 to enable a patient to place his arm for donating blood. The armrest 102 is equipped with a C-shaped semi-circular ring 103 to securely hold the patient’s arm during the donation process. The retractable armrest 102 is connected to the processing module, which controls its extension and retraction The armrest 102 slides along a guided track to achieve precise placement and is dynamically adjustable to accommodate varying arm lengths. The retractable design allows the armrest 102 to be stowed when not in use, optimizing space and accessibility while maintaining ergonomic support and patient comfort during the procedure.

[0033] The C-shaped ring 103 is fabricated of soft cushioned material and is adjustable to accommodate varying arm sizes, the adjustment being regulated by an integrated pressure sensor. The C-shaped semi-circular ring 103 is through the integrated pressure sensor, allowing precise alignment with different arm sizes. The processing module controls the positioning dynamically based on real-time sensor feedback, ensuring the arm remains correctly positioned for vein detection and blood extraction. This configuration enhances donor safety, supports ergonomic placement, and reduces the risk of procedural errors while maintaining patient comfort.

[0034] The C-shaped ring mentioned herein works by a drawer arrangement comprises of two plates which are connected through a slider. The slider consists of a sliding rail and a motorized slid able member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slid able member is attached to the open ng carved on the frame and further to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner and movement to the plates. This way the drawer arrangement expands/contracts to accommodate varying arm sizes.

[0035] The pressure sensor used here is a capacitive pressure sensor that works by measuring changes in capacitance. The sensor consists of two conductive plates separated by a small gap. When pressure is applied, the gap between these plates changes, altering the capacitance. The sensor detects this change and converts it into an electrical signal that relates to the amount of pressure. This signal is then sent to the microcontroller to be processed to give a precise pressure reading which enhances donor safety, supports ergonomic placement, and reduces the risk of procedural errors while maintaining patient comfort.

[0036] The hemoglobin tester 104 integrated with hematology analyzer is mounted on the armrest 102 to automatically analyses the blood parameters of the user intending to donate blood. The hemoglobin tester 104 is connected to the armrest 102 via first telescopic rod 105 mounted on motorized slider 106 attached with the armrest 102, which is activated by the processing module for determining hemoglobin levels.

[0037] The slider 106 mentioned herein comprises of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the slider 106 moves. The slider 106 incorporates a motor and a drive to generate linear motion. The drive converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling a slider 106 carriage attached with the rail unit along the rail unit to translate first telescopic rod 105 to collect blood samples for determining haemoglobin levels. The first telescopic rod 105 mentioned herein works by pneumatic unit that works similar as discussed above.

[0038] The haemoglobin tester 104 draws a micro-sample of blood from the patient’s arm via the armrest 102 interface. The haematology analyzer processes the sample using electrochemical sensors to measure haemoglobin concentration and perform a complete blood count, identifying red and white blood cell levels, platelets, and other parameters. Data is transmitted to the processing module, which applies machine learning protocol to interpret results in real time. If anomalies or low haemoglobin levels are detected, the module generates alerts and prevents further blood extraction. The processing module ensures precise, automated testing while maintaining patient safety and reducing manual intervention.

[0039] Upon detecting low hemoglobin levels, the processing module alerts the patient through integrated speaker 116 and advises against proceeding with blood donation. The speaker 116 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker 116 consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, it generates a varying magnetic field that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. This movement pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to notify the user against proceeding with blood donation.

[0040] The hematology analyzer performs a complete blood count to diagnose conditions such as anemia, infections, and cancers, and automatically halts the donation process if abnormal conditions are detected. The haematology analyzer operates by processing the blood sample collected from the patient to perform a complete blood count (CBC). The analyzer utilizes optical, electrical impedance, and chemical analysis methods to quantify red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and haemoglobin levels. Data from the sensors is transmitted to the processing module, where embedded protocol evaluate the values against pre-set normal ranges. If deviations indicating conditions such as anemia, infections, or cancers are detected, the processing module automatically halts the blood donation process. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety, accurate diagnosis, and real-time decision-making without manual intervention.

[0041] The vein detector 107 integrated with the armrest 102 for detecting a vein in the arm of the user. The vein detector 107 is connected via second telescopic rod 108 mounted on the motorized slider 106, and a ball-and-socket joint at the tip of the rod allows flexible positioning at varying angles. The motorized slider 106 mentioned herein works similar as mentioned above. The second telescopic rod 108 mentioned herein works by pneumatic unit that works similar as discussed above.

[0042] The motorized ball and socket joint mentioned herein allows for smooth, adjustable movement in various directions. It has a ball-shaped part that fits into a cup-like socket. A motor controls this ball, making it move around inside the socket. Actuators adjust the ball’s position to ensure it moves accurately and flexibly, enabling precise control and positioning in multiple directions allowing flexible positioning at varying angles.

[0043] The vein detector 107 works by emitting near-infrared or infrared light onto the patient’s arm. Blood vessels absorb the light differently than surrounding tissue, creating a contrast that allows veins to be visualized. Sensors capture the reflected light and generate a real-time image of the underlying veins. The processing module analyzes the image to identify vein location, depth, and orientation. Based on this data, the system calculates the optimal insertion point and guides subsequent procedures. Continuous feedback allows dynamic adjustments for patient movement, ensuring accurate vein detection, minimizing discomfort, and enabling safe and precise blood extraction.

[0044] The processing module activates the slider 106 to position the vein detector 107 accurately over the detected vein. The vein piercing module 109 includes the articulated arm 109a with the motorized clamp 109b to grip syringe 109c. Upon detection of a vein, the processing module positions the articulated arm 109a and enables the motorized clamp 109b to insert the syringe 109c needle into the vein to extract blood.

[0045] The articulated arm 109a mentioned herein contains an end effector and several segments that are attached together by motorized joints also referred to as axes. Each joints of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the articulated arm 109a to complete a specific motion in translating the equipped end effector. The end effector further comprises motorized clamp 109b hinged with each other by means of a bi-directional step motor. On actuation the step motor rotates and enables the opening/closing of the jaws of the effector for positioning the clamp 109b near the syringe 109c.

[0046] The motorized clamp 109b works by using an electric motor connected to a sliding jaw via a screw. The motor provides power to the screw that is attached to the fixed frame of the clamp 109b. As the screw rotates, it pushes or pulls the sliding jaw towards or away from the fixed jaw depending on the direction of rotation. This movement allows the clamp 109b to grip the syringe 109c.

[0047] The blood collection module 112 is integrated to store the extracted blood. The blood storage compartment 112a is erected on third telescopic arm 112b installed on the lateral side of the bed 101. The third telescopic arm 112b mentioned herein works by pneumatic unit that works similar as discussed above.

[0048] Post-vein piercing, the processing module connects the syringe 109c to the blood storage compartment 112a via an extendable conduit 112c to enable safe storage, with flow and weight sensors monitoring the process. The extendable conduit 112c mentioned herein works by pneumatic unit that works similar as discussed above.

[0049] The flow sensor monitors the rate of blood transfer from the syringe 109c to the storage compartment 112a via the extendable conduit 112c. The sensor operates using electromagnetic or ultrasonic principles to detect the velocity and volume of blood flow in real time. Data from the sensor is transmitted continuously to the processing module, which compares it against predefined safe limits. If abnormal flow is detected, the module can trigger corrective actions or alerts to prevent overflow or blockage. Continuous monitoring ensures controlled, accurate, and safe blood collection during the automated donation process, minimizing risks and ensuring system reliability.

[0050] The weight senor operates using strain gauges or load cells that detect changes in weight as blood accumulates in real time. The sensor continuously transmits data to the processing module, which calculates the total volume and monitors for overflow conditions. When the compartment 112a reaches its maximum capacity, the module can automatically halt blood transfer to ensure safety. Real-time weight monitoring provides precise tracking of donation quantity, prevents overfilling, and ensures accurate record-keeping, contributing to safe and efficient blood collection.

[0051] The automatic finger exerciser 110 is connected to the armrest 102 through a horizontally oriented fourth telescopic arm 111 regulated by a second ultrasonic sensor. The fourth telescopic arm 111 mentioned herein works by pneumatic unit that works similar as disused above. The second ultrasonic sensor mentioned herein that works similar as discussed above.

[0052] During blood extraction, the processing module positions the finger exerciser 110 according to the arm length of the user and prompts the user to insert his fingers. Upon insertion, the processing module activates the finger exerciser 110 to perform back-and-forth movements by the fourth telescopic arm 111 to facilitate smooth blood extraction.

[0053] Once inserted, fourth telescopic arm 111 generate controlled back-and-forth movements, stimulating the fingers to enhance venous blood flow. Sensors monitor finger placement and movement to ensure proper operation and prevent discomfort or strain. The module adjusts speed and amplitude dynamically based on real-time feedback, facilitating smoother blood extraction, improving donor comfort, and optimizing efficiency of the automated blood donation process.

[0054] The system also comprises the flap assembly 115 integrated underneath the armrest 102, enabling vertical adjustment of the armrest 102 during donation as determined by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. The IMU sensor is integrated with the flap assembly 115 beneath the armrest 102 to enable precise vertical adjustment. The sensor combines accelerometers, gyroscopes, and sometimes magnetometers to measure linear acceleration, angular velocity, and orientation in real time. Data from the IMU is transmitted to the processing module, which calculates the exact position and tilt of the armrest 102. Based on this information, the module actuates the flap assembly 115 to adjust the armrest 102 vertically, maintaining optimal alignment with the patient’s arm. Continuous monitoring allows dynamic correction for patient movement, ensuring stability, comfort, and accurate positioning during blood donation.

[0055] The processing module deploys the flap-mounted armrest 102 upon detection of the patient by an artificial intelligence (AI) camera 114. The armrest 102 is fabricated with holes or slots for secure placement of blood collection tubes and medical syringe 109c during the donation process. The camera 114 mentioned herein incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the camera 114 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller for detection of the patient.

[0056] A database is interlinked with the system and is configured to store the blood donation data of the user, including the number of donations and historical records. This information is accessible to blood banks and healthcare authorities to ensure safe management and monitoring of blood donation. The database supports secure access for authorized personnel, such as blood banks and healthcare authorities, enabling monitoring, tracking, and management of donations. Data integrity is maintained through encryption and backup protocols, ensuring reliability and privacy. The system generate reports and alerts based on stored data, facilitating safe, efficient, and well-regulated blood donation management.

[0057] For example, in a blood donation camp, the system automatically positions the armrest 102 and activates the finger exerciser 110 based on the donor’s arm length. The vein detector 107 detects a suitable vein, and the processing module guides the vein piercing module 109 to extract blood safely. Simultaneously, the haematology analyzer checks haemoglobin levels, and all data, including donation history, is stored in the database. This automation ensures safe, efficient, and comfortable blood donation for every donor.

[0058] The processing module, embedded with machine learning (ML) protocols, is coupled with all mechanical and electronic components to enable automated operation of the system, ensuring donor safety, real-time feedback, and efficient data management throughout the blood donation process.

[0059] Moreover, a battery is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes known as a cathode and an anode. A voltage is generated between the anode and cathode via oxidation/reduction and thus produces the electrical energy to provide to the system.

[0060] The present invention works best in the following manner, where The process begins with the application installed on the computing unit, which synchronizes with the cloud-based application running on scalable server less communication framework. The cloud application continuously monitors and analyzes data, providing predictive suggestions and adjusting resources dynamically to manage communication loads without manual intervention. The user is positioned on the bed 101 fabricated of multiple segments with motorized hinges, wherein the segments adjust according to the patient’s requirements, and the bed 101 is stabilized on telescopic rods 113 regulated by the ultrasonic sensor. The retractable armrest 102 on the lateral side of the bed 101 is deployed to hold the user’s arm securely within the C-shaped semi-circular ring 103 fabricated of soft cushioned material, adjustable vertically and horizontally through the integrated pressure sensor. The haemoglobin tester 104 mounted on the armrest 102 is activated through the first telescopic rod 105 and motorized slider 106, enabling automatic blood sampling. The haematology analyser performs a complete blood count and alerts the user via integrated speaker 116 if hemoglobin levels are low or abnormalities are detected, halting donation if necessary. The vein finder 107 connected via the second telescopic rod 108 positions accurately over the detected vein using the ball-and-socket joint. Upon detection of the vein, the articulated arm 109a with motorized clamp 109b picks up the syringe 109c and inserts the needle into the vein. The extracted blood is directed through an extendible conduit 112c to the blood collection module 112 mounted on the third telescopic arm 112b, monitored by flow and weight sensors. Simultaneously, the automatic finger exerciser 110 mounted on the fourth telescopic arm 111 stimulates the user’s fingers to facilitate smooth blood extraction. The flap assembly 115 beneath the armrest 102 adjusts vertical positioning using the IMU sensor, and the AI camera 114 ensures correct deployment. All donation data is stored in the database, accessible to blood banks and healthcare authorities, while the processing module embedded with machine learning protocols coordinates all mechanical and electronic components for fully automated operation, ensuring safety, efficiency, and real-time monitoring throughout the blood donation process.
