Lewis Zimmerman

Lewis Zimmerman was a Human scientist who created the Emergency Medical Hologram at Jupiter Station. His image was used for the EMH Mark 1 as "it was my program after all... it only seemed logical to use myself as a model".

In 2373, he began work on the Long-term Medical Holographic program (LMH). He chose Julian Bashir as the template and travelled to Deep Space 9 to gather information on him. Zimmerman interviewed many inhabitants of the space station to gather a complete picture of Bashir's personality. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")
