The biofunction monitor is a small display located at the head of some biobeds. It gives continually updated information on patient vital signs, such as pulse, respiration, temperature, and brain activity. They have been a staple of starship sickbays since the NX class.
- The biofunction monitor seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture was also used for seven years on Star Trek: The Next Generation and was one of the only surviving graphics after the sets were remodeled. The same set piece was used for Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek Nemesis, but the panel was replaced with modern okudagrams.
- In an example of life imitating art, the computer displays now common in hospitals were inspired by the biofunction monitors on the original Enterprise.
- According to rumor, one of the indicators on the screen reads, as as an in-joke, "Medical Insurance Remaining."
