Setting up your phone's Medical ID feature allows emergency responders to access critical health information, even when your phone is locked, potentially saving precious time during medical emergencies.

This feature can display your allergies, medications, medical conditions, and emergency contacts, which paramedics report using frequently when patients are unconscious or unable to communicate.

Studies show that delayed access to medical information contributes to treatment errors in up to 15% of emergency cases.

Navigate to your phone's health app, select Medical ID, and fill in your key medical information, allergies, and emergency contacts, to ensure help can reach you and treat you properly during any crisis.
