I have emergency contacts on my phone. You can access them, together with my medical information, without having to unlock my phone. A simple system that works.

Please elaborate more. Phone OS, method, phone lock type? Thanks, I also want to set it up on my phone, Android.

The easiest I found is to write in info on an image & set it up as my lock screen wallpaper.

Yes, I have a couple contacts marked "ICE" on my phone—In Case of Emergency.

(An unfortunate acronym in these times, but it's a term some subset of the population recognizes.)

Your system doesn't earn anyone government contracts.
