When you add emergency contacts to your Medical ID, they’re automatically alerted when you use Emergency SOS from your iPhone or from your Apple Watch.

You can also allow your Medical ID information to be sent automatically to emergency services, via a secure third-party service, when you call or text 911 or use Emergency SOS from your iPhone or Apple Watch (U.S. only; iOS 13.5 or later required; watchOS 6.2.5 or later required if Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network without your iPhone nearby; texting 911 isn’t available in all locations).
