A Medical ID stores information about you. If you are in an accident and need help but can’t respond, it can provide vital information to the authorities about you and your health. The Medical ID on iPhone offers details about your name and weight, but it can also list any medical conditions, medical notes, Allergies and reactions, medications your own, and if you are an organ donor.
