>>A health monitoring system on a rocket?

Yes. It looks for parameters that are outside normal operating ranges,
trying to detect engine problems before something catastropic goes
wrong, so that the engine can be shut down before it blows. You don't
want to be around when liquid oxygen starts getting sprayed around
hot parts, they become fuel!
