"Lifesigns" is the 35th episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the 19th episode of the second season. It has an average fan rating of 4.2/5 on the official Star Trek website as of September, 2009.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Federation starship Voyager during its journey home to Earth, having been stranded tens of thousands of light-years away. The episode centers on a Vidiian woman whom the Doctor works to save.

This episode was previously known as "Untitled Doctor" and "Magnetism".^[1] The finally adopted title has a dual meaning: the lifesigns the Doctor finds in the body of Danara, the Vidiian woman, and his own growing self-awareness as a sentient life form through the experience of romance.
