A Medical ID is a useful reference when visiting a healthcare professional and could be life-saving in an emergency.
Create Medical IDs for yourself and, if required, other family members and dependents. Enter Personal Data, Medical Conditions, Allergies & Reactions, Medications, and Emergency Contacts. Use Other Notes for any other kind of information you want to record, such as insurance details, immunisations, family medical history etc. Attach photos from the camera or photo library. Attach photos or PDFs by importing them from iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc. or dragging and dropping them from other apps. Scan documents to create PDF attachments. Markup photo and PDF attachments to annotate, highlight or redact information.
Highly-customisable widgets are also available to show information from your Medical ID. Your iPhone/iPad can be configured to allow Today View widgets to be accessible from the lock screen without unlocking your device.
Lock Screen widgets are available on iOS 16. There are rectangular widgets for viewing an Emergency Contact or up to three Personal Details items. There are also circular and rectangular widgets which just open the app (this requires unlocking the device).
A Watch app gives access to your Medical ID without having to unlock your phone.
Back up your Medical IDs to iCloud Drive, Dropbox etc. for safekeeping or to copy them between devices.
Note: for space and usability reasons, photos and PDFs are not included in the Watch App or Widgets.

Latest reviews of Medical ID Records app for iPhone and iPad
If, like me, your loving spouse asks you to use the MedicalID app to ensure someone knows whom to contact in the event of an emergency, dont do as I did and download this. There is a native app on your iPhone that houses more info and has greater functionality.
Could be better, I will work with it until something better comes along.
If you are going to make such a great app that integrates with AppleWatch it needs to have complications installed so that it can be viewed from the watch face while the watch is locked. This was such a waste of a $1.99
I was charged $2.13 for this app, but it wasnt indicated in the App Store. Not worth it!
Without a complications feature, this app on the Apple Watch seems useless. In case of an emergency, someone would be expected to go through the glances feature to see the medical ID?? Please update to include the complications feature! It would be 5 stars if you did.
