Reply to comment by FTorrez81 in Not my best moment, but I can confirm the crash detection on iPhone 14 Pro works as intended by FTorrez81

is this the emergency contact in your apple health app or...?

My dad is a very very distracted driver but he won't listen to us or take care of his health so I bought him an iphone 14 pro and the new watch so we could monitor stuff like this. What do I need to do on his phone that we would be informed in case of a fall or crash not just emergency services?

Yes, go to health app, click the profile icon in top right of screen on main page. Click Medical ID, then EDIT, then add emergency contacts. You can also add his health information for first responders to see (medications, blood type, allergies, etc.)

First Responders will not be checking your phone to see your medications, blood type, etc. It just wont happen. They don't have time.

You can enable “share during emergency call” and your phone will automatically send the information to emergency services.

They could potentially have the information before they even arrive

Boutta say, if I’m ever fucked up and unable to talk and no one’s immediately there to tell doctors shit, they gotta check my emergency information - best case they think I’m just a junkie hopped up on amphetamines, worst case they accidentally fuckin’ kill me. ADHD and penicillin allergy. You can bet your ass I got that in my emergency info.

Honestly for some people they will be checking. Older people, super young people, people with suspected conditions, there are all sorts of cases where this information can be utilized.

go to phone app, then select «contacts” tab, then find someone you would like to add as an emergency contact, click his name, scroll down and at the bottom you will see an option “add as an emergency contact”

You can also set up sharing in the health app for the stuff it track there. Idk how much you want to monitor him, but

No, that's just the SOS via Satellite. the emergency contacts thing has been a feature for a while now
