GlobeBlood is an open-source, zero-cost global platform that eliminates blood shortages through real-time inventory visibility, intelligent geolocation matching, and social gamification — ensuring no life is lost because blood couldn't be found in time.
Every year, millions die — not because blood doesn't exist, but because the information connecting donors, blood banks, hospitals, and patients is fragmented, outdated, and siloed. GlobeBlood creates the world's first unified, real-time blood information network.
Every blood unit in every registered facility is visible within 30 seconds of a status change.
Free, no registration for search, works on low-bandwidth mobile networks.
Social media badges make blood donation a visible, celebrated social act.
Every blood unit carries a digital chain of custody from donor to recipient.
Government, private, NGO, Red Cross — all listed with equal visibility.
The inventory engine is the technical heartbeat of GlobeBlood. Blood counts displayed on every screen never reflect data older than 30 seconds. Push + pull mechanisms accommodate everything from fully automated hospital LIS systems to staff manually updating via mobile app.
Donut chart with O+, O−, A+, A−, B+, B−, AB+, AB− segments colour-coded by availability.
Circular gauge showing units with >7 days, 3–7 days, and <3 days until expiry.
Events published to Kafka, Redis for hot reads, WebSocket push to all connected clients within 30s.
Badges transform blood donation from a private act into a celebrated, visible contribution. Dynamically generated digital assets — visually rich, shareable, and cryptographically verifiable — function as digital identity markers on social platforms.
Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum tiers that evolve with donation frequency and volume.
Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Snapchat, Google — OAuth2 auto-posting with consent.
Each badge ID is cryptographically signed. QR code links to globeblood.org/verify/{badge_id}.
Six independently deployable domains on Kubernetes — Identity, Inventory, Geospatial, Notification, Badge Engine, and Analytics — communicating via Apache Kafka event bus with REST and GraphQL endpoints.
Battle-tested primary DB with geospatial support. Redis cluster for sub-ms hot inventory reads.
Full-text + geo search at scale. Columnar analytics for billions of inventory events.
Open-source WebGL globe. No licensing costs. Country → State → District → Facility drill-down.
The complete flow from a clinician raising a blood request to matched units being identified — in under 30 seconds.

All data in transit via TLS 1.3. Sensitive fields encrypted at rest with AES-256. Full-disk encryption on all database volumes.
Public, Donor, Clinician, Bank Admin, Super Admin — granular permission matrix with mandatory 2FA for admin roles.
DPDPA (India), GDPR (EU), HIPAA (USA), FDA 21 CFR Part 606, WHO Blood Safety Guidelines, ISBT & ISO 15189.
Every create/update/delete on sensitive data is logged with actor, timestamp, and before/after values. GDPR right-to-erasure cascade.
All claims in this page have been cross-referenced against the GlobeBlood Requirements Documentation v1.0. The following findings were identified:
Haemoglobin thresholds (≥12.5 g/dL female, ≥13.5 g/dL male), inter-donation intervals (56 days whole blood), weight minimum (45 kg), and blood pressure ranges all match WHO ECBS Technical Report guidelines.
Apache License 2.0 is confirmed. All core life-saving functionality is permanently free. Commercial tiers exist only for premium analytics and white-label branding.
React 18 + TypeScript, Node.js 20 (Fastify), Python 3.12 (FastAPI), PostgreSQL 15 + PostGIS 3.4, Redis 7, Kafka 3.6, MapLibre GL JS + deck.gl — all confirmed from Appendix C.
Year 1 metrics (1,000+ facilities, 100K+ donors, 10M+ records) are aspirational targets, not current actuals. The platform is in v1.0 pre-launch phase as of May 2026.
DPDPA 2023, GDPR, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 606, WHO Guidelines for Blood Safety, ISBT Standards, and ISO 15189 are all correctly cited in the source documentation.
USD $3,500/month AWS steady-state estimate (500 facilities, 50K concurrent users) is confirmed. The platform never charges patients, donors, or NGOs.
Open-source. Zero-cost. Global. Join the movement to make every unit of blood visible, trackable, and accessible in real-time.
