Simple process. On the Lock Screen just tap on emergency and you can set up vital information and then can be accessed by anyone if you are in distress.
Thank you for bringing this up as a sort of public service announcement. I had set it up on my iPhone but just set it up on my BlackBerry KeyOne.
As an emergency room nurse and a volunteer EMT, it can be super helpful for us to have this information. If you know your blood type, including that info is excellent in case you are in an accident. Also noticed there is a second tab to add emergency contacts. Don’t forget to fill out one or two folks for us to notify. The ICE thing is great, but when you’re using a smart phone that supports it, it’s easier for us to have all the information in one spot. I’m sure you can imagine the number of things we’re trying to process in a short amount of time.
