  • The Biobed is a useful invention of Star Trek, specifically Starfleet Medical. Found in Sickbays across the fleet, Biobeds take readings of the individual who sits atop it and relays this information the doctor or staff of the ship. They are deceptively complex pieces of technology so let's take a look.

    In the Star Trek: The Next Generation technical manual, it said that one of the joke diagnostic readouts on the bio-bed was “patient health insurance remaining.”

    Having what is basically a super-MRI instead of biobeds in the sickbay was one of the strongest set choices Enterprise made imo. It also provided drama opportunities when there were many casualties and they had to get the worst ones in and out of the scanner quickly while seeing to the more minor patients by hand.

  • @grantalbrecht4577

    I bet the ability to put force fields anywhere in sickbay came with the EMH and all the holoemitters, probably more limited strategic places in older designs.

  • @hudsonball4702
    @hudsonball4702 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    The Surgical bed's force fields could also be used to clamp arteries and veins during surgeries. So rather than having large metal/plastic clamps in the way like today, the simple small force field would hold the vein/artery together leaving more room for the surgeon to work.

    Having just gone through an appendectomy, I can 100% agree that a biobed would have been SO much better than the IVs/tubes/monitors/etc, even for a relatively routine procedure.
    Though I'm not sure if it would have been better to have a transporter to just scrub the bacteria out or just not rematerialize that part...

    I guess I could say First.
    Can we talk about how sick bay can simultaneously heal anything and not be capable of healing anything at the same time. For plot, but also it'd make sense that they would push for a more compact system that can read all those signs.
    When dealing with many different species it would be inefficient to try and stick needles, and monitoring equipment onto a person because who's to say their blood vessels aren't designed differently or their kidney is where their heart would be or they have a lung where there stomach should be.
    A general platform that scan the entire body regardless of species is just smart.

      I suggest reading James White's excellent Sector General series of stories. They're hands-down the best fiction ever written about the complexities of multi-species medicine, and still hold up well today despite the first ones being written over 65 years ago. They also cleave far more closely to a utopian vision of a peaceful galactic civilization composed of many species than even Roddenberry at his most optimistic managed. The Galactic Federation's vast star fleet is mostly used for medical assistance, disaster relief and planetary scale emergencies like star going nova, and the one war they do fight is wholly defensive and ends the moment the attacking forces realize they've been lied to by their own government for generations.
      If there's a more uplifting and positive depiction of a possible future in all of scifi than White's, I haven't seen it.

    I think the bio-beds for sickbay are among the devices most likely to one day exist that does not yet. It's not so much that the technology for it already exists, Its more that the potential for it is already here. When my dad goes to the hospital for heart issues, the bed he's put in is hooked up to mnitors automatically. Everything that may need read, that doesn't need major devices like cat or mri are already there. Pulse ox and BP are attached to the wall, there's hookups in the wall for O2 and even hookups for nebulizers if it turns out to be his asthma. All the bones for this exist. Once we figure a way to passively read information, adding it into the unit won't be any kind of stretch. We already do it in a more basic way.

    Can you do one on Stasis Fields in Star Trek? They are only mentioned a few times, the one I remember most is from ST:TNG's season 2, episode 7: Unnatural Selection.
    Stasis Fields are so useful, that seeing more of them would be nice. Maybe two useful, as they would solve a lot of urgent problems. I always thought the best use of them would be to store antimatter in.

    I remember hearing a story that the U.S. military tried to develop a type of diagnostic bed after Star Trek first showed them on screen.
    At the time it simply couldn't be done. These days, it's not done because not all patients need constant monitoring and servicing the equipment can't be done *while* a patient is lying in the bed.
    Transferring a patient between beds as little as possible helps limit the risk of spreaking disease or injuring the patient by accident.

  • @AdamTehranchiYT
    @AdamTehranchiYT 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1) love the progression, more and more tech being applied to the bed until it's a wonder device with a comfy mattress.
    2) the less invasive medicine gets the better the outcome for the patient promoting healing.
    3) as for the force fields there are security risks sure but it's also a starship so letting a contagion out is no joke. IIRC the TNG episode dauphin brought up recirculating air.
    4) excellent video 👍🏻👍🏻

    • @user-zh4vo1kw1z
      @user-zh4vo1kw1z 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Any need for surgery is hard to believe when you have transporters, DNA recombination that had fenotypical expression in seconds and nanotech that is so common it is more likely to be considered a nuisance than a technological marvel.
      Combined with scanning, magical healing radiation and a proper interface with a holographic projector this would make any procedure have McCoy reiterate his "what is this, the dark ages?" sentiment. Especially invasive ones.
      Then again, Jean is the focus of a particularly potent man-crush of a deity, so perhaps stuff just randomly breaks near him, cuz he needs to learn the value of something. Or said deity was particularly bored that moment.

      DR Polaski was more than capable of doing the surgury abord the Enterprise. But Picard insisted that it be done at a star base because he was ashamed to be perseved as weak on his own ship. He didn't want the general crew, even the bridge officers, to know he had a weakness.

    I need to check what monitors that girl had on her bed in, Star Trek Into Darkness.
    or if the JJverse med-tech or even Disco tech is noticably different as we only got a bare glimpse of it here.
    One of the best things about Biobeds is the sound design, especially the TOS ones.

      The little red and green bars in Into Darkness did remind me of all the little monitors on the TOS beds a little but modernized heavily. There are lots of little devices in Into Darkness that recontectualize TOS effects as being much more advanced technology than we would assume.

    I think Star Trek scanners are definitely the coolest tech, because they are foundational. Just like replicators and phase emitters, you need scanners to make any of the cool tech.
    The closest thing I have seen in real life to Trek scanners is the recent recognition that AI can use Wi-Fi routers to see through walls and invisibly monitor entire buildings. Fine tuned applications of “safe” radio frequency broadcasts are definitely the next major tech frontier.

    We're getting closer to bio-beds, as the last time I went in for a check-up, and a few times prior, they had me sit on the examination table, and used it to look at my weight. No having to get on a scale, just sit on the table, weight check, blood pressure check and the usual poking and prodding with a typical annual check-up. Just a few year ago they were still needing to have you stand on a scale. Imagine how far we might get in the next five-ten years? I know it's not a bio-bed yet, but it's a step towards that.

    "...takes non-invasive scans of their body..."
    I do not think "non-invasive" means what you think it means. At least some of the statistics being monitored by these things are very definitely coming from penetrating scans of some kind, even if if it's using some magic BS radiation or particle to do so. Nothing as crude or harmful as X-rays, but they're digging deeper than a mere surface analysis could - especially when the patient is (as they usually are) fully clothed.

    • @AdamantLightLP
