Blood is one very important component in supporting the health of the human body. The lack of information about blood stock availability in hospitals and the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) makes people often have difficulty in getting the blood they needs. Today many people are willing to donate blood to help people who in needs for blood, but time and cost became their main obstacle, because they need to find the nearest hospital or Indonesian PMI to do so. This application is built to be able to help people get information about existing blood stocks and provide media that can deliver information to people who want to donate their blood. This application is built using Hypertext Preprocessor programming language (PHP). The methodology use is Rapid Application Development (RAD) and using UML (Unified Modeling Language) as a modeling tool. The test result showed that this application is properly function and this application can assist the people in ordering the blood it needs and the people who wants to donate their blood without having to go to the nearby hospital or PMI. © 2015 IEEE.
