Judy, If they mean a device where you press a button and it calls a 24 hour answering service that would dispatch whatever medical help you need; not as such. The newer Apple Watches have a fall detection that can be activated to auto caall emergency services if you don't respond within a minute I think. Depending on your phone, you can set up SOS so that either tapping the power button 5 times quickly will call emergency services, or if it has no home button, squeezing the volume and power/side switch will do the same. The phones with no home button, also can have the press side switch five times quickly to make that call.
So, kind of like a life-line. You could google emergency services on iOS or just call Apple support and ask for exact information about this feature.

IN the bottom right corner is the Browse tab. Double tap on that and you will find a ton of things you can include. Keep flicking through there and you will find medication and if you have it syncing with your doctor’s office, you will see your list of prescriptions already there. Otherwise, I am sure you can add it manually. It is a bit tedious, but worth wading through all that is there.

I thought I could put all medical information such as medications, emergency contacts, doctors’ names etc. in the health app, but I haven’t found out how to do that. I remember being able to input all that stuff including allergies and physical disabilities into an app. It was quite some time ago though. It was nice to have all that information on my phone. Does anyone know of a voice-over friendly app that one can use to add all that information? Thanks. God bless!
