The Long-term Medical Holographic program (LMH) was a project in development by Lewis Zimmerman in which a holographic doctor would be designed to operate as a medical practitioner on a long-term basis in a location or situation where a person could not. Zimmerman decided to continue with the LMH project, although it was still in the planning stages in 2375 and Zimmerman was more focused on perfecting the EMH Mark Two.

- As before, Zimmerman planned to use a Human subject as the basis for the LMH. Starfleet Medical then selected Dr. Julian Bashir of Deep Space 9 as the prototype's model-template. In designing the LMH, Zimmerman concluded that it would be necessary for the holo-doctor to interact naturally with patients for weeks at a time. In doing so, he felt it necessary for the holo-doctor to be "expected to share amusing anecdotes, extend sympathy, swap dirty jokes, and even have culinary opinions formed by experience."
- The Long-term Medical Holographic program (or LMH, for short) was an attempt by Dr. Lewis Zimmerman to extend the usability of his previous work, the Emergency Medical Holographic program, for use as a fully-fledged doctor on isolated bases and outposts where resources may be limited. Zimmerman began this project after receiving a request from Starfleet to enhance the lifespan of the EMH in mid-2373.

| - The Long-term Medical Holographic program (LMH) was a project in development by Lewis Zimmerman in which a holographic doctor would be designed to operate as a medical practitioner on a long-term basis in a location or situation where a person could not. In 2373, Zimmerman chose Julian Bashir as the template for the LMH and came to Deep Space 9 to create the program. Zimmerman was also keen for the LMH to have an approachable manner, and so planned to incorporate detailed information about Bashir into the program. Work on the program was halted when it was revealed that Bashir had been genetically enhanced as a child by a procedure illegal in the Federation. (DS9 episode: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume") Zimmerman decided to continue with the LMH project, although it was still in the planning stages in 2375 and Zimmerman was more focused on perfecting the EMH Mark Two.

In doing so, he felt it necessary for the holo-doctor to be "expected to share amusing anecdotes, extend sympathy, swap dirty jokes, and even have culinary opinions formed by experience." To further enhance the LMH program, Zimmerman intended to conduct in-depth interviews with Bashir's family, friends, and colleagues in order to build a more rounded psychological profile. Bashir was later deemed unsuitable as a template due to evidence that he had undergone illegal genetic enhancements. It was never revealed if the project was ever completed.
