## What is Medical ID Records?

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.

### 5/5 — Best medical record app

*2026-04-30*

Use this for my family including husband, myself and pets. Wonderful having all our info in one place [meds (including dc’ed meds;area for notes), surgeries, diagnoses (images of studies), lists of Drs, last set of labs]. Going to vet is easy bc I have name of their dog food, drs, dates of surgeries, supplements with photos of bottles w ingredient list. If you care for elderly parents or disabled person would definitely use for above and to keep their POA, guardian paperwork and other important documents in one place. You back it up to the cloud as well. Love this app

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review. I don’t have pets so never thought about using the app for them. What a wonderful idea!

### 5/5 — This app has proved invaluable to me personally .

*2024-02-16*

I can never remember dates or procedures Also if I had an accident of some sort the Dr. would be able to look up my medical history including allergies, blood type etc. It’s a saving grace to know that if something ever happens to me my family Knows where to find the information concerning my health.

### 3/5 — Add Folders

*2024-01-22*

The app is a great tool to store information. It would nice to be able to put things into different folders. Like being able to have a folder for each Doctor that you visit, or for different injections that you have gotten. That would clean up the app and make it easier to find things. Other than that, good app.
