Yes, go to health app, click the profile icon in top right of screen on main page. Click Medical ID, then EDIT, then add emergency contacts. You can also add his health information for first responders to see (medications, blood type, allergies, etc.)

First Responders will not be checking your phone to see your medications, blood type, etc. It just wont happen. They don't have time.

You can enable “share during emergency call” and your phone will automatically send the information to emergency services.

They could potentially have the information before they even arrive

Boutta say, if I’m ever fucked up and unable to talk and no one’s immediately there to tell doctors shit, they gotta check my emergency information - best case they think I’m just a junkie hopped up on amphetamines, worst case they accidentally fuckin’ kill me. ADHD and penicillin allergy. You can bet your ass I got that in my emergency info.

Honestly for some people they will be checking. Older people, super young people, people with suspected conditions, there are all sorts of cases where this information can be utilized.
