THAL-AI GUARDIAN
ThalAI Guardian is an AI-powered MERN platform for thalassemia patients that predicts transfusion needs, matches suitable donors, and manages blood re

Stage: Prototype Development
What Problem Are We Solving
Thalassemia patients require lifelong blood transfusions, but they face major challenges such as difficulty in finding compatible donors, lack of prediction about transfusion timing, and poor coordination between patients and donors. Most existing blood donation systems only provide donor listings and do not help patients plan transfusions in advance or automatically identify suitable donors.ThalAI Guardian solves these problems by providing an AI-powered patient and donor management platform. The system predicts the next blood transfusion requirement using machine learning based on patient medical history such as hemoglobin levels and transfusion intervals. This allows patients to plan their transfusions proactively instead of searching for donors at the last minute.The system also improves donor matching by automatically identifying suitable donors based on blood compatibility, location, and donation eligibility instead of manual searching. Additionally, the platform provides dashboards for patients, donors, and administrators to manage requests and monitor activity.
The project also includes chatbot assistance to help users with thalassemia-related information.Who Are the Customers
The primary users of the system are thalassemia patients who require regular blood transfusions and need reliable access to compatible donors. Blood donors are also key users, as they can register, manage availability, and respond to requests. Hospitals, blood banks, and healthcare organizations could also use the platform to manage donor networks and patient transfusion records. Additionally, NGOs working in blood donation and thalassemia support programs could benefit from the system to improve donor coordination and awareness.
ThalAI Guardian is a full stack healthcare management platform developed using the MERN stack combined with a Python-based AI service. The system is designed as a modular architecture consisting of a React frontend, Node.js backend, MongoDB database, and a Flask AI microservice. The frontend provides separate dashboards for patients, donors, and administrators, allowing each user type to interact with the system based on their role.
The system begins with secure user registration and authentication using JWT-based login and encrypted password storage. Patients can maintain their transfusion history and create blood requests specifying urgency and required blood units. The backend manages request lifecycle states such as pending, searching, and completed.
The AI component of the system analyzes patient clinical data such as hemoglobin levels, ferritin levels, age, weight, and transfusion history. Using a LightGBM machine learning model, the system predicts the expected number of days until the next transfusion. This helps patients anticipate their medical needs instead of reacting to emergencies.
The donor matching system uses a scoring algorithm to identify the most suitable donors. This matching considers blood compatibility, geographic location similarity, and donor eligibility based on donation history. The system ranks donors and allows them to accept or decline requests through their dashboard.
The platform also includes a chatbot module that provides basic assistance related to thalassemia care, system usage, and request management. This improves user engagement and accessibility.
Currently, the system works as a functional prototype with working dashboards, AI prediction integration, donor matching logic, and testing infrastructure. Future improvements include real hospital integration, real-world clinical validation, and expansion of the notification system for automated donor alerts.
