SG Blood is an iPhone application that I have developed for regular or new blood donors.
I had this idea of developing blood donation app when I know about the Nuffnang blood donation drive. I did not participate in the bloggers blood donation, but I did feel how heart warming it is when a community set out to do something good.
I hope iPhone community can achieve a similar feat.
Lastly, you might not like certain ways the app works. But there is only one objective for the app:
Give blood and give life (:
More about the App:
SG Blood provides the calendar for Bloodmobile events, giving donors the convenient of planning where and when they want to contribute. The details for the 2 permanent blood donation centres - HSA and NUH - are also available within the app. A simple FAQ also helps to address the questions that new donors would like to know.
Features include:
- Calendar for Bloodmobile events
- Show on Google map the location of a Bloodmobile event
- Record the date of the last donation
- Display info, address, map and phone numbers of the 2 blood donation centres (HSA and NUH)
- FAQ for new donors

Dear Jun Da,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Singapore Red Cross Society. First and foremost, thank you for supporting the Red Cross Blood Donor Recruitment Programme!
As you may know, we worked with Nuffnang for the First Singapore Bloggers Blood drive, and since you thought of doing this app after seeing it, we were wondering if you'd be willing to do an email interview?
Do let me know! Thanks much. :)
Cheers,

Hi Jun Da,
I am Kris, chairman of donorweb.org. I came to know about your great application from the pingback (http://iheartapple.org/2009/01/new-iphone-apps-from-singapore-tubejunkies-buuuk-straits-times-and-sg-blood/) in our blog (http://donorweb.org/blog)
I am wondering if you are automatically pulling updates from http://www.donorweb.org/singapore-bloodmobiles/ or doing it manually ?
I have no issues with you doing so; in fact appreciate your effort into taking our data into the mobile world.
I would like to know some technical details on how you are syncing with our calendar ? I have a query from another developer who would like to do the same. Thought of asking you how you did it :)
Please contact me at sptkrishnan@donorweb.org
thanks,

Hi great article. I have set up a blood donation
campaign which encourages stadiums to set up annual blood donation events, its an idea which is popular in America. I am already in talks with another NFL team and an English Premier League team.
