There are 118,000+ people on the transplant waiting list. While 95% of adults support organ donation, only 56% of them are registered. With this stark difference, I sought to understand the causes of this difference and discover the most effective approach to narrowing this gap. According to research by professor Brian Quick, “there are people who [believe] that if doctor s know you’re a registered donor, they won’t do everything they can to save your life.” By providing the public avenues to seek information, the truth concerning specific myths of organ donation can be revealed and educated decisions can be made about organ donation.

The website is an avenue for the public to learn about organ donation, common myths and misconceptions, and register to become either a living or deceased donor. Visitors can view life stories from organ donors/recipients and their families, learn fun facts about donation, and various other aspects of the organization. 

On the web app, users will be able to play a game where they read a statement and have to decide whether they believe the statement is a myth or a fact. The game will collect data about which myths are less known in order to help educate people continuously.
