It’s something that has bothered me since I realised

Or if they don’t have onboard sensors designed to do that then why not do that

Because someone who is unconscious or unable to move isn’t going to be able to call for help

    The computers in star trek have no real intelligence, everything needs user input. I mean, their weapons don’t even auto aim.

      Except for that time the enterprise became intelligent in emergence and birthed a new lifeform

      And someone just needs to program that function in

      Edit: to clarify I’m talking about programming a function in for medical emergency detection and not computer intelligence

      Starfleet learned painful lessons from Control in the 2250s and M-5 in the 2260s.

      Given the influence of Captains Pike & Kirk with Starfleet Command, as to how autonomous ship operations were devastating, in events that happened on the original NCC-1701, it’s no surprise that shipboard systems later were less autonomous than my smart thermostat.

      Well, until Zora.
