Could First Responders Access Your Emergency Information?

In an emergency, every second matters. Did you know that most smartphones have a built-in Medical ID feature that can be accessed even when your phone is locked?

By completing your Medical ID, you can provide first responders with critical information such as:
✔️ Medical conditions
✔️ Allergies
✔️ Medications
✔️ Blood type
✔️ Emergency contacts

iPhone:
Open the Health app ➜ Tap your profile picture ➜ Select Medical ID ➜ Tap Edit ➜ Make sure “Show When Locked” is turned on.

Android phones:
Go to Settings ➜ Safety & Emergency ➜ Medical Information ➜ Enter your details and enable emergency access.

First responders are trained to check for this information. Having it completed could truly save your life.
