Is there a FOSS In Case of Emergency (ICE) app?

ICE and Medical ID on play store are both crap.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but this app could be useful someday: https://github.com/ligi/SurvivalManual It's also available in F-Droid, but didn't receive any updates for 4 years. It's basically an easily navigatable pdf that tells you what to do in a survival situation

In the United Kingdom, people just add a contact to their phone book called “ICE”. You can learn more here.

I dont get it, because the phone is locked usually. So you rely on the faceID on your uncobscious face or a fingerprint if your finger?

Most phones allow you to make emergency calls from from the lockscreen. I wouldn't bother with an app if my xiaomi phone allowed me to have text info on the lockscreen. Not just medical info but also "if found pls contact - "

I used to do this but I'd prefer to have medical aid details, blood type and contacts accessible from lock screen.

I have this installed already. Might come in handy during the zombie apocalypse :)

On my (lineage) phone I can press "emergency " instead of typing the pin, and then reveal emergency contacts and medical information I choose to put there (allergy's, medication etc)

I don't think I installed an app. I assume its a aosp feature.

Use a medic alert bracelet if you need something like that. EMTs are trained to look for it. They aren't going to derp around looking at your phone.
