I just realized that my ICE (In Case of Emergency) number which I somehow put on that screen is gone!
That number and also my medical information is always available from the lock screen on an iPhone (by default). Are you sure it's missing?

That's a good practice. Unfortunately, I'm prone to forget my phone when I go out. Last year I needed to replace my original Apple Watch and I got the cellular version this time. I always have it on my wrist, and it's really amazing since I can make a phone call with it even when my iPhone is miles away. Full Dick Tracy mode. Rarely needed, but it gives me a good feeling of confidence.
I Once she was a few steps away from it, she wouldn't hear it due to severe hearing loss - and her forgetfulness to put in hearing aids - or buy batteries.
Here's what was missing: my ICE info I put up as a message on the lock screen. Basically, Android has the ability to put up any message you want on the lock screen. If you put ICE there, it makes it super easy to find.That number and also my medical information is always available from the lock screen on an iPhone (by default). Are you sure it's missing?
perhaps I should just calm down.
I'd be surprised if the Android system didn't operate similarly.
, I wonder what else I should add. All I can come up with right now is "no known allergies." What else would a first responder need to know?
Yeah, the emergency info works. Lots of taps required on my phone, but any first responder should know the drill.
Very similar, at least on mine. Tap on "Emergency" at the bottom of the lock screen. The next screen allows you to make a call (not sure if that's restricted to 911 or something) and there's a button for "Emergency Information."
I have my first name, spouse's phone number, blood type and organ donor "yes" indicator. You can add anything else. Maybe allergies, medications, whatever.

So don't think a cell or an alert system will help if you have a fall or are medically incapacitated.
Usually a good idea.
FWIW, on the iPhone, if a stranger picks it up and Face ID doesn't recognize them, the phone shows the numeric keypad for your passcode and the word "Emergency".
Tap on Emergency and you get a telephone keypad and "Medical ID".
Tap on Medical ID and your name, basic medical details, and contact person/phone number appear.

I never knew about the emergency info on the phone , never really noticed the word "emergency" under the dialpad.
And her lawn continued to be cut.....
