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

    I think the canon reason given for this and other “why didn’t the ship’s computer just stop them?” situations that it’s a privacy violation to just go around scanning people without their permission.

    Although they do seem to do a lot of “scanning for life-signs” so who knows?
