If you're looking to be an organ donor, an easy way to sign up is through your iPhone, a capability introduced with iOS 10.
Using the Medical ID feature via the Health app, you can sign up with an organization called Donate Life America. You provide the organization with certain details, such as your contact information, date of birth, and sex. Your donation registration then appears on your iPhone, where you can view it and medical staff can check it.
