1. A computing device-implemented method for enhancing plasma acquisition, the computing device including at least one processor, the method comprising:
receiving, in a server, donor information and donation data for a donor;
sending a first communication to the donor, the first communication being sent to the donor after completion of a donation;
monitoring a time period after the donation to determine when a predetermined period of time has passed;
receiving, in a server, productivity information for a plasma donation center;
determining capacity and requirements for the plasma donation center and a number of donors required by the plasma donation center to achieve a target productivity for the plasma donation center with a heuristics module or artificial intelligence module executed by a processor and using the productivity information;
generating, based on the determining, a second communication to the donor after the passage of the predetermined time period, the second communication reminding the donor that the donor is eligible to donate again and including a preferred date and time for the donor to return to donate again, the preferred date and time based, at least in part, on heuristic information about the plasma donation center's productivity; and
sending the second communication to the donor's mobile device, the second communication configured to trigger a visual, haptic or auditory effect on the donor's mobile device.
