+Utils class to check app health.
+Used for Kubernetes to automatically restart app when critical errors occur.
+
+Process:
+    1. A critical error occurs
+    2. HealthCheck receives notification of this via setUnhealthy(msg: Optional[str]) method
+    3. HealthCheck keeps changes program state to unhealthy, and keeps track of the message
+    4. A routine call to the healthcheck API occurs
+        a. API calls healthCheck() which returns current status
+        b. If program not in healthy state, API returns 500 status code along with messages
+        c. If program is healthy, API returns 200 OK
+'''
