According to the latest data from GSMA Intelligence, there are 5.34 billion unique smartphone users worldwide, a number that has grown by 93 million in the last 12 months (DATA REPORTAL, 2022). As a result of the increase in sales of these devices, and the possibility of accessing information through increasingly smaller hardware with more and more resources, there is a rapid growth in demand for new applications. In this way, the use of apps to create a blood donation network is a practical idea, considering the extensive access to smartphones today, which enables a much wider reach of people. According to data from the Ministério da Saúde (OMS), only 16 out of every 1,000 inhabitants in Brazil are blood donors, a number corresponding to just 1.6% of the country's population. However, as presented on the Laboratório Oswaldo Cruz website (2021), the OMS recommends that there should be a percentage of 3% to 5% of blood donors in relation to the total population of a country, which, unfortunately, is not the reality in Brazil. As mentioned in a recent case study by Ramlan (2022), although there are several apps related to blood donation, they have yet to achieve a good reach when it comes to voluntary activities in the area. Through the research, it is concluded that the low reach of the population is probably due to usability contexts and functionalities that are not very flexible for user customization. In addition, it is possible that the consumers of these applications have not found them useful and do not feel engaged enough to use them, since the programs have not provided the user with a sense of relevance, according to the research. Another study (OUHBI et al., 2015) of 169 free blood donation apps also concluded that better donation apps are needed to increase the number of volunteer donors. Many complications were identified, the main ones being that they were only developed for the Android platform, that they did not use any type of authentication, that only 35% had geolocation features, that a considerable number did not allow information to be shared via social networks, and that a large number did not provide recommendations for blood donations. As a contribution, this work will develop a mobile application called BlooD, which aims to create a donation network enabling: easier access to physical units using geolocation; scheduling information; viewing blood stocks; creating an incentive system through a donation feed with filtering and favorites options; sharing information via social networks; facilitating access to basic information such as: minimum requirements for donation, post-donation recommendations, etc.., seeking to fill the gaps observed in the blood donation apps already on the market so that there can be a significantincrease in the number of donations.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Desenvolvimento de softwareDispositivos móveisAplicativo móvelFlutterDoação de sangueDoadorSangueIncentivo à doaçãobachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAO
