Abstract

The search for a compatible donor is carried out through a search algorithm, whose objective is to find potential donors in a volunteer register. In this context, based on the implementation of an algorithm to search for compatible donors, the objective of this article is to propose and implement a tool to analyze patterns in organ donor databases, which will help physicians and researchers obtain information to improve the process of organ donation among unrelated donors. Initial results showed that the tool is capable of performing the proposed analyses, as well as significantly reducing the time required according to the available computational architecture.
