Have you got "ICE" on your mobile phone.? 

In Case of Emergency (ICE) contacts on a mobile phone.
This allows  first responders to access critical medical information (allergies, blood type, conditions) and contact family without needing a passcode. It is set up via smartphone emergency SOS settings (iPhone) or Safety/Emergency settings (Android).

Key Aspects of ICE on Mobile Phones: 

  • Accessibility: ICE information can be accessed from a locked screen by tapping "Emergency" and then "Medical ID" (iPhone) or by navigating through the lock screen menu (Android).

  • Setup (iPhone): Go to Settings > Emergency SOS > Edit Emergency Contacts in Health.

  • Setup (Android): Go to Settings > Safety and emergency > Medical info.

  • Content: Should include, at minimum, a primary contact name, relationship, and phone number.

  • Alternative Method: Create a contact named "ICE" in the address book.
