A Starfleet EMH

An emergency medical hologram (or EMH) is a computerized medical system to attend patients on a Federation starship if the ship's medical staff is incapacitated. The system uses holodeck technology to project a humanoid image with force-field support to allow the image to manipulate medical equipment. An AI program connected to a medical database operates the image like a puppet.

A typical Starfleet EMH has technical proficiency in may fields of medicine, but they tend to have a poor bedside manner, not having been designed to deal with patients on a regular basis for routine care.
