Hi, I am not sure why you don't see the option to have your medical Id information displayed on the lock screen. Are you maybe running an older version of iOS? Not sure when the Medical Id became available, but I think it was there in iOS 9 already, but I can't remember if the Health app was there in iOS 9 so maybe it was there but in a different place. Anyways, here is what I do, this of course assumes I have gone to the Health app, tapped on "Medical Id' at the bottom right and set up my Medical Id with information including emergency contacts:
I press the home button (I have Touch Id set up, so I use a finger I didn't register because on the 6S/6S Plus or 7/7 Plus Touch Id is so fast that it usually unlocks the phone even if you press the home button super fast with the finger you registered) You can of course also wake up the phone by pressing the power button. Now I am on the lock screen where it shows the time and date and at the bottom it says "Press Home to Unlock", I double tap on that and now the keypad comes up asking me to enter my passcode. At the bottom in the middle (just above the home key) is the 0, on the right in the bottom corner is a "Cancel" button, on the left in the bottom corner is the "Emergency" button. Double tap on Emergency, you are now on the screen again with the keypad where you can make an emergency call, e.g. you can call 9 1 1 from this screen. If you put your finger on the home button as a reference the "Call" button is straight up maybe an inch, if you slide your finger off the home button and almost straight to the right and just a bit up (maybe 2 o'clock, you have another "Cancel" button. Do the same going to the left to about the 10 o'clock direction or even between 9 and 10 o'clock and you find the "Medical Id" button. Of course you have to enable to show the Medical Id on the lock screen which you do in the Health app under Medical Id. If you now double tap on the Medical Id button all your information shows up, here is what it looks like using ficticious information: Top line: Medical Id from the left across and the middle, on the top right is a "Done" button Swipe right (next line) it says: John Smith, May 5, 1977 (40), Organ Donor Next line (swipe right): Medical Conditions Next line (swipe right): Blind, diabetic Next line (swipe right), the first emergency contact is listed, swipe right again the next one and so on as many as you select in your medical Id: Spouse, Jane Smith, +1 (212) 555-1111 Father, Tom Smith, +1 (212) 555-2222 Brother, Jim Smith, +1 (212) 555-3333 Doctor, Dr. Bill Walker, +1 (212) 555-4444 Underneath this, if you entered the information is listed your weight, height and blood type and lastly at the bottom it says "Updated" followed by whichever date you last updated your medical Id. It is very quick to get to this although my explanation sounds slow, but once I wake up the phone and I'm on the lock screen I just double tap on "Press Home to unlock", then I touch at the bottom left and I can hit "Emergency" every time, I double tap, touch again in the same spot where now is the Medical Id button and I double tap and I'm there. Of course a sighted person can do it even quicker because they don't even have to doubl tap, they tap once on Emergency, the Medical Id button shows up they tap on that and have the information. I wouldn't be surprise if first responders like cops, firefighters and daramedics know exactly where to look.

I never did that so I don't know if that would work.
