Emergency Service button
I think there should be a button for when streamers are having a stroke or something the viewers can click the button. This button should send a confirmation to some twitch admins and if its true they click on approve. when they click on approve a signal is going out to the streamers local emergency service and they will respond to the emergency case.
a precondition to this is that you need to know the adress of the streamers what can be done be asking for the adress when creating a new account or when you implement it that existing streamers have to update personal information. off course this is strictly personal information so it should not be available to anyone.
Please let me know if it is going to be implemented

I echo @belfryexpress_dj's comment and say there should definitely be a mechanism on Twitch to alert emergency services if multiple viewers notice a crisis situation.

I will echo @belfryexpress_dj's comment and say it took several people entirely too long to spin up a response to a potential crisis situation. Twitch should have a mechanism to alert EMS if several viewers note a crisis situation. This would be along the same lines as if someone was threatening self-harm.

This morning literally had a friend pass out on stream. I live across the country and had to figure out how to get medics to them. everything is fine fortunately. there should be some emergency contact capability

As someone who had their life saved by twitch chat recently i can't tell you how much this would be appreciated. I live with epilepsy and during my stream the other day I suffered a grand mal seizure. luckily people in chat where able to get in touch with my wife and emergency services to send help to me. without them i very well could have died. I am so thankful for the platform twitch provides and wish that there was some sort of way to integrate this into every stream.
