that you have to switch up between various platforms just
to track your well-being. And the worst part is that many of

Furthermore, failure to maximize on GPS technology
makes it difficult to swiftly locate nearby blood donors thus
potentially having implications on critical health situations.

around or walking, introducing further obstacles in

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM

FitTrack BloodLink is not your average fitness app –

it's a game changer! Imagine going for a run or walk, and
instantly knowing how far you've gone, calories you
burned, and how long you exercised. FitTrack BloodLink
does just that, thanks to its real-time tracking with GPS.
But it's not just about tracking; FitTrack BloodLink brings
everything together in one place.It brings together both
blood donars and receivers at same place.Who are in need
of blood can search for donars nearby. The application
utilizes GPS to fetch nearby available blood donars . By
clicking on the marker which belongs to corresponding
blood donar we can contact them throught our app .It
calculates your BMI, estimates your daily calorie needs .No
need to switch between different apps for different things. Fig 2 MVVM with Fragments and
And here's the best part – you don't need fancy gadgets like Activities in the Application
