Abstract
It is critical to ensure the safe and quality supply of blood among various stakeholders; however, this remains a significant challenge in today’s world, especially in developing countries. These countries face severe problems, including blood shortages, fragmented regulatory frameworks, and inconsistent quality control measures. To tackle these challenges, countries like India are trying to implement the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its derivative platforms to transform blood collection, testing, storage, and distribution by enabling interoperability, real-time compliance monitoring, automated donor screening, optimized inventory management, and advanced component separation. The article argues that developing countries must adopt both regulatory reform and technological innovation to improve the current blood supply chain. Having a collaborative system wherein there is an interoperable relationship among various stakeholders, combined with an AI-driven blood management technology, would help ensure a reduction in blood wastage, improve patient safety, and the timely supply of high-quality blood products on a global scale.
