    In a patient monitoring system, implement a function that activates the next available health parameter alert by finding the leftmost inactive monitoring flag in the patient's vital sign status register. The function should take a binary status code representing currently active health parameter alerts and return a new status code with the leftmost unmonitored parameter now set to active.
