How your IPhone could save your life.

Truly it is my wish everyone arrives at your destination safely. But as we all know accidents do happen and that is why their called accidents. Here is how your iPhone could save your life. ON every iPhone FREE from Apple is a HEALTH APP. Let's say you're in an auto/RV accident and unconscious. A Policeman or Firemen, can pick up your iPhone even if locked and ONLY enter your emergency information, nothing more. But only if YOU HAVE SET UP MEDICAL ID, in advance. This would also be good to set up on child phone should they have a medical emergency. List your medical issue(s), BIO, DOCTOR and emergency contact(s).

Here the link: iPhone Health APP Medical ID Information.

    Thanks for the tip. I’ve been using “ICE”, but don’t know if that will work if they can’t unlock the iPhone now days.

    Even if the iPhone is locked you can switch "EMERGENCY ACCESS TO UNLOCK, when setup your MEDICAL ID. Doing this permit anyone (POLICE or FIRE) to access your emergency information. But not full access into your other APPS or PHONE just medical information.
  • The Android phones have two possible apps for that purpose. One is ICE and the other is Medical ID (has both a free and pay version).
