, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a blood management system. The present invention more particularly relates to a blood bank management system with the help of IOT.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Blood is a perishable product with uncertainties in both supply and demand and blood stock management is therefore a judicious balance between shortage and wastage. Blood service operations are a key component of the healthcare system. Requirement of blood is increasing gradually due to accidents, surgeries etc. Blood transfusion play an important role in healthcare. The intention of Blood Bank Supply Chain is to demand estimate, inventory management and distribute adequate blood.
Healthcare as a sector is a definite beneficiary of the increasing adoption of technologies related to the Internet of Things. Hospitals and healthcare providers operate under constant shortages of blood for transfusions. one in seven people who enter a hospital require a blood transfusion, and less than 10% of those eligible to donate blood do so annually. Red blood cells have a maximum shelf life of 42 days, blood platelets last only five days, and donated units must be kept refrigerated under specific conditions at all times to avoid premature expiration.
One of the areas where IoT has entered recently is blood bank management. It may come as a surprise to many that due to less than adequate management practices, thousands of liters of this precious resource get wasted every day across the country. Such a wastage is occurring during a day and age when healthcare providers are battling acute shortage of blood units for various medical procedures.
In order to break the long-term situation of our country to rely on imports related to blood testing equipment, to change the inherent flaws and limitations of traditional equipment to meet rising market demand, therefore, an urgent need to develop a miniaturized, intelligent and fast blood sensor , real-time monitoring of early cancer, analysis and diagnosis, timely and accurately capture the status and trends of its evolution, the problems to be addressed through appropriate interventions will be present.
Seasonal stressors also have a negative impact on the amount of blood donated. Blood banks routinely focus on enhancing facility storage capacity and ensuring a positive donor experience to encourage repeat donations and reduce shortages. However, the threat of shortages is looming constantly, so it is imperative for blood banks to manage their available supply as tightly as possible to avoid unnecessary waste. The present invention helps that optimize patient safety and provide measurable enhancements to current blood bank operations.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The main object of the present invention is to optimize patient safety and provide measurable enhancements to current blood bank operations
Another object of the present invention is to provide a miniaturized, intelligent and fast blood sensor, real-time monitoring of early cancer, analysis and diagnosis, timely and accurately capture the status and trends of its evolution.
Other objects and benefits of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to bind the scope of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a blood bank management system with the help of IOT is disclosed. A blood bank management system with the help of IOT comprising of;
a. Collecting the blood from various people, transferring it to blood banks, resources;
b. maintaining server(database of the website) for donar registration and receptor requests;
c. processing, testing of the blood followed by distribution of blood to hospitals, receptors;
d. cross matching the blood groups to verify the compatibility with each particular patient;
e. transfusing the blood for treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS:
The present invention optimize patient safety and provide measurable enhancements to current blood bank operations. The present invention provides a miniaturized, intelligent and fast blood sensor, real-time monitoring of early cancer, analysis and diagnosis, timely and accurately capture the status and trends of its evolution.
Blood service operations involve blood collection, processing, inventory management, distribution, blood-banking management, and transfusion. Blood Center collects whole blood from donors, processes it into blood products at a Regional Blood Center and distributes them to hospitals in the network in order to transfuse to the patient. Regional Blood Center (RBC) has principal operations for blood collection, processing and testing, production, inventory management, and distribution to hospitals. RBC is responsible for managing this inventory and allocating available blood units to hospitals according to requisitions from their local blood banks. Each Hospital Blood Bank (HBB) has to manage blood inventory and its operations within the hospital. Doctors put requests for the certain amount and groups of blood products for patients’ treatments. When available blood products are assigned for any patient, these units will be cross matched to verify the compatibility with each particular patient. The period between blood cross matching and releasing any unused units is called “a period for reserving blood”. The longer this period is, the higher the probability that blood will expire before its actual use. Finally, the cross matched units will be transfused to the patient for treatment.
In one embodiment, A. Tracking 1) Inventory count and location tracking Real-time inventory count would be applied to check the collaborative inventory in order to automated count the overall blood stock levels in the HBBs. Hence, the RBC can obtain these counted blood stock data for future blood collection and replenishment planning. Moreover, the location tracking of each blood unit enhance blood transshipment among the HBBs in case there are any blood emergency demand requests made from the HBBs and the RBC cannot supply enough blood units to respond to those requests. 2) Safety and traceability. The blood traceability system is an online platform which is connected into the RFID-blood bag and barcode. It is able to integrate the sharing information and coordination among blood service organizations in the supply chain in order to mitigate blood transfusion risks to the patient, such as human error, incorrect blood products, and errors in medication administration.
B. Identification and Authentication 1) Auto ID/bar code enabled transfusion administration .The identity check between each patient and particular blood product is the crucial task to avoid mistake in the transfusion. The RFID-blood bags and the traceability system can ensure that the correct blood type with the correct quantity is always delivered to the right patient when there is a request.
C. Automatic Data Collection 1) Blood inventory management Blood inventory is a major task in the supply chain. The main aim is to maximize blood utilization in such a way that blood shortage and outdated rates are at minimum levels. RFID and barcode are used to connect each blood bag to the blood inventory system can lead to the ability to manage blood information more efficiently. 2) Blood tracking and tracing Real-time blood tracking and tracing system will help the RBC to reload its own inventory and allocate blood products to the hospital blood banks according to the specific demand from each hospital.
D. Sensing 1) Transportation monitoring Temperature control during transportation is vital for maintaining blood quality. Using sensing technology and real-time temperature tracking in blood transportation can ensure the quality of blood products.
2) Patient monitoring: It is necessary for the medical practitioners to be alerted if the patient suffers any complication symptoms after receiving blood. A wearable bio-signal device that binds the patient to the system can be used to monitor and transmit data automatically back to the medical staff for any prompt treatments during postoperative blood transfusions.
