Adding medical and emergency contact information
You can add and edit ICE (In Case of Emergency) information in the Contacts
application. You can enter medical details, such as allergies and medications that you
are using, plus information about relatives and friends who can be contacted in case
of emergency. After setup, your ICE information can be accessed from the security
lock screen. This means that even if the screen is locked, for example, by a PIN,
pattern or password, emergency personnel can still retrieve your ICE information.
