About this app

Medical ID allows creating medical profiles that are accessible from your lock screen. In case of emergency, profiles enable 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. You can also share your location with emergency contacts even when the app is closed (for up to 24 hours or until you stop sharing).

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.

This is the free version of the app. Upgrading to the premium version gives you access to more features and help us to maintain the app and add features. Please note the upgrade is required only once in your lifetime!a

Ratings and reviews

It's really easy to set up and edit your info. It's mostly freeform so you can write whatever you want, which is really nice. It puts an icon on your screen saver so EMTs can easily get your info when you're unable to speak or aren't in the right state of mind to remember everything. It's also a huge help when filing out all those forms when you see a new doctor. This app keeps all your medical info that you feel is important to share with new healthcare providers in one place.

I have upgraded my previous rating but am withholding the final star until I find out why this is happening: I recently opted to place the icon above my PIN pad. Twice now, an alarm has sounded when I'm nowhere near my phone, but only once did I get to it in time to turn off. Then, I got a text asking if there was an emergency. No. Five minutes later, two cops are standing there. It definately works! Have there been other reports of spontaneous triggering?

Could use some improvements down the road, but it is free and there is a lot of flexibility in use. The fact that you can have access on a locked screen is perfect. If you are unconscious, the EMT/ER people can get your basic medical info on you without having access to the rest of your phone. In future, I would like to see formatted area for existing conditions, emergency contacts, medications, allergies, etc. Can't say I have even seen an ad, so if they are there, they are subtle.
