A platform for finding voluntary blood donors efficiently

What is Asrik?

Asrik is a platform driven by Android, that aims in making the process of finding blood donors hassle-free, efficient, and effective. Users can raise blood request by providing the requirement details and a supporting document that can be used to verify the request as authentic. Asrik is based on the concept ONE POSTAL CODE, ONE ADMIN, where each postal code area is assigned a voluntary admin who is responsible for verifying the blood requests made in that area. Only after admin's verification, the blood request is floated to every user of the application. Apart from verification, admin is also responsible for identifying emergency requests which are shown on top of the feed for users belonging to area where request is made.

Donors can see the requests and contact the seeker via chat. They can also share the request externally through Email, SMS, etc.

Users can opt to get notified about the blood donation camps in their area which will be posted by the admins.

To extend our support to a larger set of people, we have added support for Hindi and English languages and aim to add more in future.
