When it’s as serious as life and death, you know it’s no game. That’s what the app Vital ICE is, and this simple, free download, could very well save your life.
Heritage Funeral Home owner Sammy Callahan said he highly recommends the app. In any emergency situation, EMS and First Responders play a critical role in life-threatening emergency situations. “Any medical information for the patient that can be provided to them upon their arrival increases the odds of a more favorable outcome. Time saves lives, and Vital ICE saves time.”
According to the website, individual confidential medical information is exclusively stored on the owner’s mobile device and is not able to be viewed or stored by the company or its affiliates.
Vital ICE provides a platform on which to list your vital medical information, such as blood type, allergies, medications, medical history, ICE (in case of emergency) contacts, and much more. This information will then be readily available to EMS and other First Responders when they need it most.

• Vital medical information and photos for you and up to 8 dependents
• Email your information to any email address (hospital, physician, or other recipient)
• List of emergency (ICE) contacts
• List of physician contacts (as well as pediatricians and OBGYN when applicable)
• First aid protocol for 16 medical emergencies, when medical help is unavailable
• Record and save a voice overview of your medical information, which can further assist EMS
