Add Your Emergency Contacts
Another useful feature in the Health app is called Medical ID. This feature lets you have important health information ready in case you need to share it with someone.
Besides your name and blood type, you can also add emergency contacts, which will be the first to call if someone happens to you. Here’s how to add emergency contacts:
- Open the Health app.
- Tap on your profile in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select Medical ID.
- Tap on Edit in the top right.
- Scroll down and select Add emergency contact.
- Search for the contact you want to add.
- Select the relationship you have with that contact.
- Repeat as many times as you need. When you finish, tap on Done.
And that’s it. If you chose the wrong contact, you can delete it by selecting the minus button on the left side of the contact and then tapping on Delete.
Your emergency contacts can also be accessed from your iPhone’s Lock Screen if you’re ever in an accident and will be automatically contacted when the Emergency SOS feature is triggered. whether manually or as a result of Crash Detection or Fall Detection.
