DonorFind

DonorFind by Morph.org is an opt-in, location-aware app that revolutionizes the way hospitals, blood banks and patients efficiently find nearby blood, bone marrow, platelet & plasma matching donors. The "Uber" for blood and bone marrow donation is here! DonorFind by Morph.org is the winner of the 2015 GMIC Social Innovation Award.

Many countries have significant shortages, inefficient processes to find & pre-screen donors, and lack feedback to donors on post-screen transmittable diseases. We hope to change all that and save millions of lives starting with you!

Morph.org is a non-profit philanthropy that creates social ventures across education, healthcare and other areas. We are 100% volunteer organization founded by Phalgun Raju and Nicholas Nash.

COUNTRY COVERAGE: App can be used globally to sign up as a donor and find a local match. Finding nearby collection hospitals and blood banks are just available for US & India currently. We will continue to build our database of collection organizations by country. Please send us feedback through the app if you would like us to add your country so we can prioritize.

LANGUAGES: Current language choices within app: English, Spanish, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi. Please send us feedback through the app if you would like us to add your language so we can prioritize. You can volunteer to translate the app for your language through our site: DonorFind.org

DONOR BENEFITS:
1) Sign up to be a blood, platelet, plasma or bone marrow donor. Get notifications when someone or an organization in your city or town is in need. Send out a request when you or a loved one is in need.
2) Go through pre-screen checklist to ensure you qualify before you go to the hospital or blood bank.
3) Keep track of when you donated to ensure sufficient time has passed till your next donation.
4) Get opt-in notification from select collection organizations if they find you have a transmittable disease post-screen.

PATIENT BENEFITS:
1) To find a match, sign up as a donor or ask your hospital to sign up as an approved organization on DonorFind, and send out a notification to donors nearby that meet your criteria.
2) Find accredited and non-accredited hospitals, blood banks and plasma centers near you.
3) For bone marrow, find ethnicity matches through DonorFind. Once a potential donor has contacted you, you can connect the donor with your doctor for HLA matching and additional screening.

HOSPITALS/BLOOD BANKS BENEFITS:
1) Blood collection: Low on blood, plasma, or platelet supply? Send unlimited notifications to donors in your area when low on supply
2) Bone marrow matching: Send quick notifications on behalf of patients in need of bone marrow matches. DonorFind matches on ethnicity. Additional testing once initial ethnicity match is found is required.
3) Send transmittable disease notification to donors, if found post-screen, to prevent further endangering loved ones and notifying donors to seek medical attention.
