That said though, I used to keep details on my phone lock screen and in my recent accident both garmin and phone survived but took cosmetic damage so probably another vote for a durable ICE card tag

I have heard from a few people that blood group is not important as they always test before transfusing (safety check if you will). Thats not to discount it though - all information is useful The suggestion on heart conditions is very good in my (non medical) opinion. I have althletes heart which I am sure a large percent of runners cyclists also have. Sometimes my low heart rate causes alarm when I am in normal range

UK based, independent, reasonable prices, personal service tagnix.co.uk I've got my name, DOB, emergency contact, allergies, major medical conditions and blood group on my tags Another one to consider is a charity Medicalert medicalert.org.uk That requires an annual subscription but they have access to your up-to-date medical records which is useful if your medical information sometimes changes (e.f., medication, condition alters etc).

You can enter basic details on it - I have the fact I have an implantable defibrillator beneath my left collar bone and what drugs I take. I do need to look at getting road Id or something as I'm back to running on my own. I take a phone but if I was to have an arrhythmia again or was to receive a shock it would be bugger all use to me!
