What's new

Updates & improvements

What we have shipped lately. We are building BloodKonnect in the open, one improvement at a time.

v0.29July 2026

Clearer donation rules, and a place for everyone

Blood donation rules on the app now follow NBTC (National Blood Transfusion Council) guidelines for India, not WHO. The rest period after donating is now 90 days instead of 56.
Before you register, you can see the minimum requirements to donate: age, weight, haemoglobin and health checks, all in one place.
Cannot donate right now? If the reason is temporary, like a recent tattoo or a course of antibiotics, register anyway and use Pause to mute alerts until you are eligible again. Each reason now shows how long to wait.
Cannot ever donate? You can still register to raise requests for family and friends, and share requests with your network to help find a donor.
When you accept a request, you now confirm you meet the donation criteria first, so fewer people are turned away at the blood bank.

v0.28July 2026

Every donor now has a personal invite link on the dashboard and profile. Share it on WhatsApp or anywhere in one tap.
Your dashboard shows how many people have joined through your link, so you can see the lives you are helping reach.
The more donors you bring in, the more requests we can answer. Top inviters will be recognised.

v0.27June 2026

Find a Donor and the Stats page now show the top 10 cities up front, so you are not scrolling forever.
Search for any city, even one we do not cover yet. If there are no donors there, you can invite people and share to help us reach it.

v0.26June 2026

Enter a pincode and we now fill in your city automatically, on registration, blood requests, and your profile.
Registration is shorter: city and pincode are now a single step.
If your city does not have enough active donors yet, the request page now gives you real options: write to us, the government eRaktKosh portal, nearby blood banks on a map, and a 'notify me when my city goes live' button.
A new home page that leads with our mission, plus quick links and our LinkedIn and Instagram.
This What's New page, so you can see what we ship.

v0.22June 2026

Once a donor accepts your request, you and the donor can now see each other's number to coordinate timing.
New Getting Started guide that walks you through both donating and requesting blood.
Cleaner home and stats pages that only show the numbers that matter.
