Donor app
Download the app for blood donors – Your donation information will be sent directly to your phone. Now also in English and with the lifesaver badges!
In the first phase, you will be able to see e.g.
- your next possible donation date,
- your previous visits,
- your haemoglobin levels measured at a donation session, and
- your blood group.
You can also search for donation locations near you. Using the app, you can also easily find links to appointment booking and the blood donor health questionnaire.
In the latest version of the app, donors can earn virtual lifesaver badges as a token of thanks for their donation, as well as edit and save their contact information.
You can still download the app even if you are not yet a blood donor. You’ll see your visit information after you have donated blood for the first time.
How to install the app
- Download the app for free from an app store.
- Identify yourself using your online banking credentials.
- Set your own four-digit passcode or enable facial recognition for quick sign-ins.
- You can now use the app!
In the first version of the app, you will be able to see information about your previous blood donation visits, but for now, you won’t be able to see your upcoming blood donation appointments or the health questionnaire you have completed. However, you will be able to use these services via the app.
Blood Service can inform blood donors about acute critical situations, such as major accidents. By allowing the app’s notifications, one receives messages about exceptional situations directly to the phone. The emergency message feature is used only in exceptional emergency situations and not for regular information.
Here’s how you can ensure that you receive Blood Service’s emergency messages directly to your phone:
- Download the app or update it to the latest version (1.2 or newer).
- Allow the app to send notifications to your phone. (Phone settings > Blood Service > Notifications > Allow notifications)
In the phone settings, you can check if you have allowed the app to send notifications. You can also check if you have already updated the app to the latest version and, if you wish, enable automatic updates.
The application is being continuously developed, and in the future, functionalities like appointment booking are intended to be integrated into the application.
