You can use a WMI Process Sensor. It has one channel called "instances". It is the number of times the process is running.
Since the sensor returns a error if no process with this name is found you need to create a "dummy" process with the same name that is always running (but requires no resources).
Then the instances will show a 1 for not running (only the dummy process) and 2 and above if the process is running.
You can then set a notification if this channel is bigger than 1 with a latency of e.g. 15min. Then you will get a notification if the process is running longer than 15min.
