ICE Standard is a sophisticated medical history app that gives users access to crucial info in case of emergency. The mobile platform was first developed by About The Kids Foundation and is equipped with users' emergency contacts, insurance details, car information and blood type in addition to all of one's medical history.
ICE Standard's color-coded design is used by emergency response crews to determine the danger levels of specific situations. While colors like red are reflective of sever allergies, yellow is representative of existing medications and prescriptions that an individual might be taking.
This emergency response app is described as a back-up to a traditional emergency or health card but features a myriad of crucial information that would otherwise be difficult to condense.
