Medical ID (premium)

Laurent Pellegrino

About this app

Medical ID allows creating medical profiles that are accessible from the lock screen of your device. In case of emergency, the app enables quick access to vital information such as your allergies, blood type, medical contacts, etc. that are essential to attending first responders, medics, or medical staff having to take action.

This is the premium version of the app. It enables all features:

 • Quick access to medical information from your lock screen.
 • Emergency alert feature to send SMS in one click (with your estimated location).
 • Location sharing with emergency contacts even when the app is closed (for up to 24 hours or until you stop sharing).
 • Direct emergency contacts call from the lock screen without having to unlock.
 • Backup feature to trigger manually.
 • Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation.
 • Current location (address, GPS coordinates).
 • Compass.

The display and access of your medical information from your lock screen are made possible via an accessibility service to enable and that is part of the core features of the app. Once enabled, the accessibility service displays a widget over your lock screen. This widget helps people who have disabilities, or first responders in case of emergency, to take action and access medical data.

In emergency situations, a Medical ID could prove to be invaluable to attending medics or other medical personnel providing treatment. Do not wait, turn your Android device into a life-saving tool.

Ratings and reviews

A really nice App with lots of useful info for an emergency. I'm using it with a Huawei P20Pro with the Microsoft Launcher: On this phone, the persistent notification method on the lock-screen appears but won't work as tapping it will not open the App unless the phone is unlocked (which it wouldn't normally be in an emergency). Using the overlay method instead does work well provided that you go into the Settings | Battery | App Launch options and set it to manual (so that it can run in the background without being suspended by the OS). A minor point is that the overlay method uses the home screen background, not the lock screen background, which it should. More importantly, there also needs to be an option not to display the overlay when the phone is unlocked (as it is not needed). I use the phone with Face ID to automatically unlock it when you look at the screen and having to dismiss the ICE overlay manually every time is slightly irritating. Sort that out and it would get a fifth star.

Great App, and I used it for years on my Pixel 2. However I have just changed to an S22+ and the lock screen widget is unresponsive. You need to keep tapping it to open the app, which in an emergency is a big problem. I loaded a competitor (Emergency Medical ID) and the widget works fine. But otherwise a much inferior app... .

I both love and hate this app. I love the functions it provides when it is turned on, but really hate it when the app's accessibility service suddenly turns itself off. If the app isn't reliable, it isn't of any value. Further, getting it turned back on for First Responders is too difficult. I've spent over a half hour trying to get it turned back on with no success. Even the videos haven't helped.
