a drop of blood, a pulse of life

📢 About the Project

the-pulse-drop is an open-source initiative building a trusted, privacy-first, verified platform to connect blood donors with people in urgent need — responsibly and safely.

Even today, people still rely on:

• Random social media posts
• Personal networks
• Luck

There is no unified system with:

• Verified requests
• Trusted hospitals
• Location-intelligent donor alerts
• Privacy protection
• Donor credit scoring
• CSR-backed incentives

We want to fix that.

🧩 What We Are Building

✔ Verified Requests

Every request is backed with doctor-signed documents, hospital confirmation, and identity verification.

✔ Smart Donor Matching

Radius expands automatically:
5km → 10km → 15km → 20km → 30km

✔ Privacy by Design

Donor contact details are shared only after the donor accepts the request.

✔ Donor Credit Score

Increases when donors:

• Donate on time
• Maintain a healthy profile
• Respond quickly
• Complete identity & health checks

Unlocks:

• Insurance benefits
• Health discounts
• Priority approvals

✔ CSR & Health Rewards

Companies can offer:

• Pharmacy discounts
• Checkups
• Health coupons
• Insurance perks

✔ Donor Community

Leaderboards, volunteer IDs, city groups, milestones.
