Abstract. Blood donation management plays a critical role in ensuring a constant supply of safe and compatible blood for transfusion purposes. This research paper proposes a Blood Donation Management System that employs the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm to optimize the process of matching blood donors with recipients. The system aims to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of blood donation operations, ultimately saving more lives. The research includes an implementation of the system, and a comparison with alternative algorithms
Keywords: Blood Donation, Management System, K-Nearest Neighbor, Donor-Recipient Matching, Transfusion
