A card with your key medical facts and contacts, so helpers know what to watch out for. Charities and pharmacies often offer printed versions.
ICE stands for “In Case of Emergency”: a wallet card naming who to call. This generator combines both on one credit-card-sized card.
The emergency information built into your smartphone, such as Medical ID in the iPhone Health app or Emergency information on Android.
An emergency card should answer two questions for helpers within seconds: who do I call, and what do I need to watch out for medically? That's why your name and emergency contacts go on the front, and allergies, medication and conditions on the back.
Less is more. Only write down what really matters in an emergency, and keep the card up to date. A medicine you stopped taking a year ago can confuse more than it helps. Your blood type is a nice extra: hospitals always test it before a transfusion anyway.
Medical ID on your phone
Most smartphones have built-in emergency information that helpers can open even when the screen is locked. It's a good addition to the card in your wallet and takes two minutes to set up.
Menu names vary by manufacturer and Android version.
The catch: Medical ID only helps if the phone is there, has battery, and helpers know where to tap. That's why it's worth having something that works without a battery and catches the eye straight away.

How to
Print the PDF at 100% scale, ideally on slightly thicker paper around 160 gsm.
Cut along the outer dashed line and fold on the centre line. No glue needed.
Cover with sticky film or laminate. Laminating makes the card a little bigger; a card sleeve is the alternative.
Keep it next to your ID and bank cards. That's often where people look first in an emergency.
Who it's for
If you're out alone, doing sport or travelling, contacts and allergies help strangers enormously.
In the school bag or backpack, with the parents' numbers and the GP. Essential with allergies.
GP, medication list and where advance directives are kept, all at a glance.
Diabetes, epilepsy, blood thinners or a pacemaker belong in large print on the front.
Always with you
When you go running, swimming or to the playground, the wallet often stays at home. hiddencontact SOS products carry a QR code instead of personal data. Helpers scan it with any smartphone and see your digital emergency profile or reach your emergency contacts.

FAQ
Your name, date of birth and at least one emergency contact with a phone number. Add allergies, regular medication and medical conditions. Your GP and where your advance directive is kept are useful too.
Yes. The generator is free, with no sign-up and no email address. You fill in the card and download the PDF straight away.
No. The preview and the PDF are created in your browser. Your name, diagnoses and phone numbers are never sent to hiddencontact or any third party.
Folded, it's credit-card size (8.6 × 5.4 cm) and fits any card slot. Unfolded, front and back sit side by side and you fold it in the middle.
It can be, but it's only an extra. Hospitals always test your blood type before a transfusion. Allergies, medication and conditions matter more.
No. But it can note that you have an advance directive or power of attorney and where it is kept, so relatives and doctors find it faster.
It's a good addition but has limits: without battery or if the phone is missing it can't help, and not every helper knows how to open it. A card or QR wristband works without power.
Whenever your medication, diagnoses or phone numbers change, and otherwise at least once a year. With the generator you can print a new one in a minute.
