Emergency Medical Hologram

The Emergency Medical Hologram (abbreviated: EMH) is a sophisticated hologram developed in the early 2370s by Starfleet and used on most Federation starships in the late 24th century. The first starship to be equipped with an EMH is the USS Voyager. The formal name of the program is EMH Program AK-1 Diagnostic and Surgical Subroutine Omega-323.

It was developed by Dr. Lewis Zimmerman at the Jupiter Station Holoprogramming Center as the embodiment of modern medicine. The EMH Mark I is programmed with 5 million possible treatments from the collective information of 2000 medical references and the experience of 47 individual medical officers. The EMH is also supplemented with contingency programs and adaptive programs to in essence learn while serving as a supplement of a normal medical staff in cases of emergency.
