That's out of the scope for systemd really. That's monitoring, and I
am not convinced having custom check function support in systemd is
really appropriate, this should be implemented outside of systemd
really.
Administrators usually create type timer units which are bound to
relevant type service unit and is run on periodic interval and checks if
the service responses and restarts it if it's not for those use cases
where the daemon/service is in some limbo state and not responding for
whatever reason ( that is if they dont have any monitoring system like
zenoss or nagios etc that does that for them ).
