Medical ID Records [iPhone]

A Medical ID is a useful reference when visiting a healthcare professional and could be life-saving in an emergency.

Create Medical IDs for yourself and, if required, other family members and dependents. Enter Personal Data, Medical Conditions, Allergies & Reactions, Medications, and Emergency Contacts. Use Other Notes for any other kind of information you want to record, such as insurance details, immunisations, family medical history etc. Attach photos from the camera or photo library. Attach photos or PDFs by importing them from iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc. or dragging and dropping them from other apps. Scan documents to create PDF attachments. Markup photo and PDF attachments to annotate, highlight or redact information.

Highly-customisable widgets are also available to show information from your Medical ID. Your iPhone/iPad can be configured to allow Today View widgets to be accessible from the lock screen without unlocking your device.

Lock Screen widgets are available on iOS 16. There are rectangular widgets for viewing an Emergency Contact or up to three Personal Details items. There are also circular and rectangular widgets which just open the app (this requires unlocking the device).

A Watch app gives access to your Medical ID without having to unlock your phone.

Back up your Medical IDs to iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc. for safekeeping or to copy them between devices.

Note: for space and usability reasons, photos and PDFs are not included in the Watch App or Widgets.
