Setting Up ICE (In-Case-of-Emergency) Information On Your Phone
Did you know that your cell phone could help save your life in an emergency? Say you’re hurt in a car accident or after a fall, for instance, and you slip out of consciousness. You’re rushed to the hospital, where medical teams treat your injuries. There’s no one there to share your medical information or tell people who to contact.
So now what? That’s where having ICE — or in-case-of-emergency — information on your phone comes in.
ICE is contact information for a trusted person. With a little planning ahead, your phone can share medical details and contact information with emergency workers, even if you can’t. You can add ICE information easily in your phone contacts. Just add a new contact like you normally would. Pick your emergency person and include their phone number, email, and other important info. Then name that listing as ICE and done! Your ICE information is now on your phone for emergency workers to find, right there under the letter “I.”
Still not convinced? Luckily, you can also let emergency responders know your medical conditions and ICE info the old-fashioned way, with a paper card in your wallet.
Other simple tips to help medical workers in case of an emergency include:
- Making sure that all of your doctors are informed of the medicines you are taking
- Communicating with a family member or loved one where medical records or information are kept for easy access
- Wearing your ID bracelet or necklace
