    Hi

     

    Apple does not present offer a watch face - or a complication for a built-in app under watchOS - that incorporates medical ID bracelet functionality.

     

    If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding that as a new feature, you can do so here:

    You may find some third-party apps of interest. For example:

    However, should you decide to use any such apps, you may consider it prudent to also continue wearing a traditional medical ID bracelet.

     

    Should your watch - for example - become damaged, passcode locked (due to losing contact with your wrist) or run low on battery charge^, any such information may become inaccessible to responders, even if they think to check your watch.

     

    ^ When the battery falls to a low charge level, Apple Watch automatically enters Power Reserve mode. This limits functionality to telling the time. No watch face complications are shown (nor are any apps accessible) within this mode, which cannot be exited until the battery has been charged to a certain level.
