O-factor is a platform which connects medical organizations like the hospitals and blood banks to the credible blood donors near them. Medical organizations can register themselves under the medical organization category and later call for blood donors near them through a request generation mechanism which enables them to generate a call for nearby donors within some range as specified by the organization. Donors may choose to take up or reject a request. Based on which if he/she chooses to accept a request he/she could directly approach the organization for blood donation. Also in this case, his/her contact details are made available to the organization to establish a contact, for any futher assistance.
