Emergency Medical Hologram

The Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) is a sophisticated artificial intelligence designed to serve as a backup medical officer during emergencies when biological medical staff are unavailable. The program combines a holographic interface with comprehensive medical databases and diagnostic algorithms.

Modern EMH programs demonstrate surprising depth of personality and can operate continuously for extended periods. Some units have achieved a level of sentience that raises questions about holographic rights. The EMH Mark I includes the complete medical knowledge of Starfleet and can perform complex surgeries, diagnosis, and treatment with near-perfect accuracy.
