The passport counts down for you
No alerts until the ring is full. Then you're back in the pool.

Give blood when it counts, close to home
Tell Dropli your blood group and where you live. You'll hear from us only when a patient near you needs a group you can give to, and only once your body is ready to give again.
How an alert reaches you
Three checks before your phone buzzes
Dropli doesn't blast every donor in the city. A request has to pass all three checks below before it reaches you, and then the choice is yours.
Your group can help
The patient's blood group has to be one you can give to. An O− donor hears about more requests than an AB+ donor, and that's on purpose.
You're able to give
If you gave blood in the last 90 days, you won't get alerts. Your passport shows the day that changes.
You're close to the hospital
Donors within 3 km hear first. If the bags aren't covered, the request moves out to 7 km, then 15 km.
Answering is up to you. Open the alert, read the request, chat with the family if you have questions, and say yes only if you can actually go.
Your first donation through Dropli
From the alert to the certificate, in four screens
- 01
Say you can give
Answer in the app, or from a shared link in any browser. A code sent to your email confirms it's you.
- 02
Talk to the family
Ask which ward, what time, who to meet. If anyone asks you for money, both of you see a warning.
- 03
Show your code after you give
Tap "Show code". The family types the six digits or scans the QR. Not before you've donated.
- 04
Keep the certificate
A verified donation gets a certificate with its own number and a QR anyone can check. Print it or save it as a PDF.

When can I give again?
Ninety days between donations
After a donation, Dropli stops sending you alerts for 90 days. Pick the date you last gave blood and we'll work out when you're back on the list.
Pick the date of your last donation.
If a doctor has told you to wait longer, wait longer.

Verified donations
Six digits that prove you showed up
Anyone can say they gave blood. A verified donation is one the patient's family confirmed with your code, so it means something on your passport and on your certificate.
- Open the donation in the app after you've given and tap "Show code".
- The family types the six digits on their phone, or scans your QR.
- The donation turns "verified" on your passport and your certificate is ready.
- Don't share the code before you donate. That's the whole point of it.
What the family sees
They enter your code. The stamp lands on both phones.

Who can your blood help?
Switch to "Donor gives" and pick your group. This is for red cell transfusions; the hospital always cross-matches before giving blood.
A patient who is B+ can take red cells from O−, O+, B−, B+.
Rare blood network
If you're Rh-negative, the whole country is your 3 km
O−, A−, B− and AB− donors are hard to find in any one neighbourhood. Switch on the rare blood network and you'll also hear about urgent requests for your group from much further away, in the second round of alerts.
- One switch on your passport. Turn it off whenever you like.
- Only urgent requests for your group, and only after nearby donors have had their turn.
- Joining earns the Rare blood hero badge.
Circles
For a patient who needs blood on a schedule
Children with thalassemia often need a transfusion every few weeks for years. A circle is a standing group of donors for one patient. You take turns, and whoever is next gets a reminder before the date.
A rota that moves by itself
Illustrative example. When one date is done, the next donor moves to the top.

You're in good company
People have done this for strangers for a long time
Soldiers on a base in Minnesota, a donor at a NASA research centre in Ohio with eight gallons to his name, donors resting with a cup of tea in Montreal. The cot hasn't changed much. The way people hear about it has.
Will I get alerts all day?
No. You only hear about requests for a group you can give to, near you, and only when 90 days have passed since your last donation. Ring by ring, the alert stops as soon as the bags are covered.
Do I get paid for donating?
No. Blood is given, not sold. Nobody on Dropli pays donors, and if someone asks you or the family for money in chat, both of you see a warning.
Can I answer without installing the app?
Yes, if someone shares a request link with you. Open it in any browser, fill in your name and group, and confirm with the code we email you. You'll want the app to get alerts after that.
When should I show my code?
After you've donated. The family enters it to confirm the donation happened. If you show it earlier, the donation could be marked verified before it's real.
What is the rare blood network?
An opt-in list of Rh-negative donors (O−, A−, B−, AB−). If you join, you'll also hear about urgent requests for your group from further away, after nearby donors have been asked first.
