I tweeted this earlier:
Finally! iOS8 adds ICE [In Case of Emergency] contact options to the Emergency call screen.

Thank you, Apple, for finally adding the option to have emergency contact information on the dialer screen. I’m sure this will greatly help first responders.
You can set up this information in the new “Health” app that’s preinstalled with iOS8. Go to the Medical ID tab, and enter the information you want to appear when someone makes an emergency call from your iPhone.
If you’re on iOS8, do it NOW!
Until next time...
this does sound most useful and sensible. good for Mr. 8.
