5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:

transmit the first test command to the user attached monitor device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:

transmit the second test command to the user detached monitor device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user detached monitor device is a wireless communication device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:

report an analysis result derived from analyzing the combination of the first test result and the second test result, wherein the analysis result is reported from the monitoring station to at least one entity involved in monitoring the individual.

9. A system for determining operation status of a monitoring system, the system comprising:

a user attached monitor device attached to an individual being monitored, and wherein the user attached monitor device is configured to:

execute a first test command to yield a first test result;

a user detached monitor device associated with the individual being monitored, and wherein the user detached monitor device is configured to:

execute a second test command to yield a second test result;

a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the processor analyze a combination of the first test result and the second test result to determine an operation status of at least one of the user attached monitor device and the user detached monitor device.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user attached monitor device comprises:

location determination circuitry; and

a strap for attaching the user attached monitor device to the individual being monitored.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user detached monitor device comprises:

location determination functionality.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is part of a monitoring station located remote from both the user attached monitor device and the user detached monitor device, wherein the user attached monitor devices includes a first transmitter, wherein the user detached monitor device includes a second transmitter, and wherein:

the user attached monitor device is further configured to transmit the first test result to the monitoring station using the first transmitter; and

the user detached monitor device is further configured to transmit the second test result to the monitoring station using the second transmitter.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the monitoring station is further configured to:

transmit the first test command to the user attached monitor device.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the monitoring station is further configured to:

transmit the second test command to the user detached monitor device.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user detached monitor device is a wireless communication device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions executable by the processor to:

report an analysis result derived from analyzing the combination of the first test result and the second test result, wherein the analysis result is reported from the monitoring station to at least one entity involved in monitoring the individual.

17. A method for determining operation status of a monitoring system, the method comprising:

receiving a first test result derived from a user attached monitor device, wherein the user attached monitor device is physically attached to an individual being monitored, and wherein the first test result is generated by executing a first test command by the user attached monitor device;

transmitting a second test command to a user detached monitor device, wherein the user detached monitor device is associated with the individual being monitored;

executing the second test command by the user detached monitor device to yield a second test result;

receiving the second test result corresponding to the second test command; and

analyzing a combination of the first test result and the second test result to determine an operation status of at least one of the user attached monitor device and the user detached monitor device.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the analyzing is performed by a central monitoring station, the method further comprising:

reporting an analysis result derived from analyzing the combination of the first test result and the second test result, wherein the analysis result is reported from the monitoring station to at least one entity involved in monitoring the individual.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the analyzing is performed by the user detached monitor device, the method further comprising:

reporting an analysis result derived from analyzing the combination of the first test result and the second test result, wherein the analysis result is reported from the user detached monitor device to at least one entity involved in monitoring the individual via the central monitoring station.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein:

the first test command commands the user attached monitor device to determine location of the user attached monitor device;

the first test result is selected from a group consisting of: a location of the user attached monitor device, and a location unavailable message;

the second test command commands the user detached monitor device to determine location of the user detached monitor device;

the second test result is selected from a group consisting of: a location of the user detached monitor device, and a location unavailable message; and

analyzing the combination of the first test result and the second test result includes utilizing both the first test result and the second test result to determine an analysis result indicating at least one of: a user attached location test fail, a user detached location test fail, a location test indefinite, a user attached location test pass, or a user detached location test pass.
