This document is meant to travel.
In an emergency, paramedics and ER staff check your phone's Medical ID from the lock screen — before they know anything else about you. That's where "who speaks for me" belongs, so it's the first thing they find, not the last.
- Open Health → tap your photo → Medical ID → Edit.
- Add the person who speaks for you as an emergency contact.
- Paste your Care Wishes link into Medical Notes, and turn on Show When Locked.
