One’s NOK

For those of you who, like myself, have all their offspring living or spending most of their life in far off shores and due to different time zones are often asleep while I am awake. So who do you put as your Next of Kin on the wrist band?
My older brother has just received a notice around his wrist with the names of his nearest of Kin if anything happens to him and suggest I get one. He has his wife and both offspring’s both living not far from him.
What has been putting me off is maybe having to pay for my alarm to go to some health agent or whatever.
I would be most grateful for answers

Your next of kin doesn't have to be a family member, do you have a trusted friend who would be able and willing to be your NOK?
