About Buoy Software

Our mission is to deliver the best experience possible to as many donors of blood products (such as plasma) as possible, in as many communities as possible. We use our understanding of blood product donation and the industry’s regulations and pair them with our extensive consumer product experience to enrich the lives of our members and improve health outcomes for patients everywhere.

In an industry that hasn’t seen innovation in more than two decades, Buoy’s software streamlines the donation process allowing our business to promote loyalty while improving efficiency in a donation center. In turn, the increase in blood product donations improves a supply level that is at an all time low, and allows for blood-product derived biotherapies to continue to evolve, improve, and save lives for those who face life-threatening conditions (i.e. immune deficiencies and blood disorders). Without an increase in blood product donations, we are facing a worldwide health crisis that ultimately results in rationing of care without the proper resources. Buoy Software is excited to be playing more of a role in improving the state of blood products and blood product donations.

We’re working alongside Join Parachute (www.joinparachute.com/) in the opening of small market donation centers across the country that will create local donation center careers, opportunities to donate blood products, and provide financial compensation for those donations that will have a positive economic impact in those communities.

The need for blood products is growing rapidly. We want to close the gap in blood product supply and demand by empowering organizations with the right tools. Buoy is the intuitive, data-driven mobile application for donors.
