OBI ‘Bio-linked’ Resource Helps Connect Donors With Blood Centers
The Oklahoma Blood Institute is trying to make it easier for people to learn how to donate, while also giving people the opportunity to help with medical research.
The online website called “Bio-linked” was designed by a team of Oklahoma based software engineers and helps connect donors and blood center to help during the pandemic.
The system has two parts: one finds people who qualify to donate convalescent plasma to treat patients with COVID-19. It also helps find people willing to participate in medical research by filling out questionnaires, like medical and family history.

Developer McCauls plans to create 89 homes and 8,000 sq ft of workspace at the grade two-listed 32-34 Laystall Street, just off Manchester’s Great Ancoats Street.
Designed by OMI Architects, the plans will see the restoration of the 1879 building into commercial space. The building was initially constructed as the offices, showroom and workshops of John Armitage & Son’s terracotta and fireclay manufacturing company.
The building will be extended to the corner of Laystall Street and Pigeon Street, “with a contemporary addition to provide a new vertical circulation system for the building”.
To the rear of the showroom, the intention is to build a nine-storey residential development configured in a horse-shoe around a landscaped courtyard. Deloitte is advising on planning, with Stephen Levrant Heritage Architecture also on the team.

While the vaccine rolls out nationwide, there is still a big demand for a COVID treatment proving effective now in hospitals.
The convalescent plasma of those who have recovered from the virus contains COVID-fighting antibodies and is being given to patients at the hospital.
“As we have more experience with convalescent plasma, we realize giving it early is probably the best strategy because you prevent someone from getting to their sickest point,” said Dr. John Armitage, director of the Oklahoma Blood Institute.
Right now, convalescent plasma is helping to free up beds in crowded COVID hospital units.
