The younger
generation is so much more in tuned with technology. I love being corrected by my grandkids. And I am sharing this bit of information with
you.
Several weeks ago, I talked about ICE – In Case of
Emergency. With a locked phone, the ICE
listings are not available to first responders—or so I thought. On most cell
phones there is a place to push for emergencies. This will get you to a screen to make a call
or to go to the Medical ID app. Silly me
thought the “emergency” would automatically call 911. My granddaughter informed me that it wouldn’t
and that I should complete the Medical ID app which would contain Emergency
Contacts, prescriptions I take and any pertinent medical information I want to
include on the app. The app also asks if
I am an organ donor. How cool is
that? And how many people who have a
cell phone never read the instruction manual to learn about all the neat things
the phone can do. Yes, I am one of those
people. Check out the Health App on the iPhone
and look for the Medical ID tab.
If you learned something new, please let me know. My goal is to educate the important people in
my life and that’s YOU. And please share
this information.
