1. A system for maintaining a sensor, comprising:
- a sensor capable of being attached to a user'"'"'s body and comprising;
a transceiver configured to transmit data, anda sensor attention indicator configured to generate a visual output or an audio output in response to receiving a sensor attention indicator activation command; and
a base station adapted to receive the data from the sensor, the base station comprising;
a fault-detection system adapted to detect a faulty operating state of the sensor, anda decision engine coupled to the base station and adapted to transmit the sensor attention indicator activation command to the sensor based on an indication of the faulty operating state from the fault-detection system.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method of a health monitoring network which automates detection of faulty or failed sensors using realt-time fault checking on a dynamically registered sensor data stream. The monitoring system and sensor network can provide a one-touch system to notify users when a sensor requires attention, without prior knowledge of the operational characteristics, installation method or configuration of sensors in the network. The network uses a decision engine to assist in maintenance according to a profile based on individual preferences and capabilities.
