x4740NWhy don't ships onboard sensors detect medical emergencies
badcommandorfilenameI think the canon reason given for this and other “why didn’t the ships computer just stop them?” situations that it’s a privacy violation to just go around scanning people without their permission.
Although they do seem to do a lot of “scanning for life-signs” so who knows?
FaceDeerFirst thing I'd do when boarding a Federation ship is tell the computer it's authorized to keep an eye on my vitals.
SuperbSince when was there an expectation of privacy on a Starfleet ship?
Starfleet is not the military as they are so often having to remind everyone
scanning for life-signs
Yeah, and I’ve never figured out the security feature that makes scanning for life-signs more effective when you sign a little song to the computer. But sometimes I guess it’s just more urgent to know, little life signs, where are you?
It’s based on the same technology that makes you turn faster in Mario Kart if you tilt your head and turn the controller like a steering wheel.
