The Apple solution worked great. The Medical ID page supports multiple contacts and other medical info like allergies.
On Android, I used the Lock Screen Message feature in the Security section of the Android Settings, for Android 6.0.
Note that most of these solutions have the contact on the lock screen, but Apple has them in a "Medical ID" page that you can get to via pressing "Emergency" at the enter password/Touch ID screen you get with a locked phone.
