Solution 1:

Third-party app extensions in the Share menu

And the ability to show/hide/reorder them to your preference:

Solution 2:

Medical ID in the Health app

It creates a summary of all your medical details (age, blood type, allergies, known conditions, etc.) as well as a list of emergency contacts, and can be accessed from the lock screen. Once there's enough uptake that medical professionals know to look for it, it could be a life saver.
