It’s something that has bothered me since I realised
Or if they don’t have onboard sensors designed to do that then why not do that
Because someone who is unconscious or unable to move isn’t going to be able to call for help

A lot of my head canon around this and the notable lack of automation prevalent in Starfleet: it’s a futuristic, post-scarcity jobs program. Yes, it’s about exploration and rendering assistance and all that. But it gives people something to do, a way to serve the whole. Picard said as much to Geordi when Scotty was aboard. I’ve of the many things Starfleet does is give people a sense of usefulness.
