MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025781 A) filed by Sri Sai Ram Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 5, for 'enhancing blood donation efficiency and accessibility through artificial intelligence.'
Inventor(s) include Heena M; Krithika S; Keerthjv Asan S; and S Parvathi.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Blood availability and safe distribution remain critical challenges in healthcare, often leading to shortages, delays, and wastage. This project presents anAl-based smart blood donation and distribution system designed to improve efficiency, safety, and emergency response. The proposed platform integrates predictive analytics, reinforcement learning, loMT-enabled storage monitoring, and cloud-based dashboards to create a unified blood management ecosystem. Temperature and ' expiry sensors continuously monitor storage conditions, wliile the A I engine forecasts demand and identifies potential shortages in advance. Upon receiving a hospital request, the system automatically performs intelligent blood matching and computes the fast.est delilery route using optimized logistics. The platfonn includes donor and hospital interfaces for real-time alerts, tracking, and coordination. By transforming traditional reactive workflows into a proactive. data-driven process, the proposed system significantly reduces blood wastage, improves availability in critical situations, and enhances overall healthcare supply chain reliability."
