GOALS
1. Efficiency Improvement: Streamline blood bank operations to improve efficiency
in managing blood donations, inventory, and distribution processes.
7. Data Analysis and Reporting: Enable comprehensive reporting and data analysis
capabilities to generate insights into blood bank operations, trends, and performance
metrics.
The lack of a centralized and automated system results in difficulties in tracking donor
information, monitoring blood inventory levels, and responding promptly to blood requests.
Moreover, manual processes are prone to human errors, making it challenging to maintain
accurate records and comply with regulatory requirements.
Therefore, there is a critical need for a modern, comprehensive, and user-friendly blood bank
management system that can streamline operations, enhance transparency, and improve the
overall efficiency of blood bank processes. Such a system should facilitate seamless donor
registration, real-time inventory tracking, efficient blood request processing, and robust reporting
capabilities

DETAILS OF TOOLS
1. Programming Languages:
PHP: A server-side scripting language commonly used for web development.
PHP can handle tasks such as user authentication, database interaction, and data
processing.
PHP is now officially known as “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. It is a server-
side scripting language usually written in an HTML context. Unlike an ordinary
HTML page, a PHP script is not sent directly to a client by the server; instead, it
is parsed by the PHP binary or module, which is server-side installed. HTML
elements in the script are left alone, but PHP code is interpreted and executed.
PHP code in a script can query databases, create images, read and write files, talk
to remote servers – the possibilities is endless. The output from PHP code is
combined with the HTML in the script and the result sent to the user’s web-
browser, therefore it can never tell the user whether the web-server uses PHP or
not, because the entire browser sees is HTML.
HTML/CSS/JavaScript: Frontend web technologies used for creating user
interfaces, styling web pages, and adding interactive features.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a style sheet language which is used
to describe the look and formatting of a document written in markup language. It
provides an additional feature to HTML. It is generally used with HTML to
change the style of web pages and user interfaces. It can also be used with any
kind of XML documents including plain XML, SVG and XUL.
CSS is used along with HTML and JavaScript in most websites to create user
interfaces for web applications and user interfaces for many mobile applications.
2. Database Management System (DBMS):
MySQL: A popular open-source relational database management system
(RDBMS) used for storing and managing structured data. MySQL is commonly
used with PHP for web applications.
