For most people — especially youth and young adults — a smartphone is everything. It’s a way to talk, text, take photos, play games, listen to music, read the news, and more. Now, the iPhone Health app features a helpful medical tool: the Medical ID. The Medical ID shows important health-related information from the user. It is easy to set up and can be accessed by anyone in the event of an emergency (NOTE: the “Medical ID” feature is only available on iPhones that have been updated to iOS 8). This document walks you through each step of setting up the app and using it. It is perfect for youth who are working to build the skill of managing their health information independently.
