Emergency Contact Information Should Be Visible on Mobile Lock Screens

Lock Screens have one major flaw... Nobody can find your emergency contact information.
My September 2014 post "Emergency Contact Info Needs to Bypass Locked Phone" was read by nearly 3000 visitors, but as it stands today, mobile phones still lack this essential feature.
When I originally wrote about it, new laws were being passed to force mobile phone companies to include auto-locking features in mobile phones to curb the number of mobile device thefts. Although locking phones is a great way to curb the number of mobile phone thefts, they need to also include a way for owners to display emergency contact information.
All they need to do is create a simple page for the owner to enter a list of people to contact along with other information that could be useful to doctors, paramedics and other emergency personnel. In the event that you are ever involved in an accident that renders you unconscious, they can tap a button to display this vital information.
In addition to including the names and phone numbers of family, friends, and doctors, it could also include things like allergies and medical conditions such as diabetes or heart conditions.
