I'm in a group with several other members with chronic medical conditions. We want to receive a daily notification from each other that their phone is active (meaning the user is up and about). A simple ping is all we need from each other - a missing 'ping' means the others will check-in on the member not using their phone. Is this already available within an app or apple service?

Given that your group is of people with chronic health conditions and you just need a simple daily “I’m alive” ping, I recommend starting with Snug Safety or Circle Alert — especially Snug, which seems widely used and trusted for this exact purpose.
If you prefer privacy and control, build a small Shortcuts-based check-in system with a daily reminder, so the “ping” becomes part of everyone’s routine.
