I love looking at new apps for my phone and found a really cool one today.  It’s called ICE (In Case of Emergency) app.  Its sole purpose is to inform emergency personal who to call in case of an emergency.

I had heard of this idea before and even put ICE as a contact in my old cell phones (with my husband’s number) but this app is different.  Not only can you include emergency phone numbers (and email addresses) you can also include:

• Date of Birth
• Height
• Weight (Eek!)
• Medical Conditions
• Allergies
• Whether or not you’re an organ donor
• Medications
• Physicians name
• Insurance provider
• Blood type

I’m lucky enough (crossing my fingers and saying a little prayer) that I don’t have a medical condition, or even an allergy for that matter, but if I did, this app would be ideal.

I spoke with a friend who is a paramedic for a small town and was told they do in fact check phones for this sort of information.  Although I wouldn’t tell my friends to go ahead and throw out their medical bracelets, I believe this is a really great idea.
