Vitals monitor
Increases medical tend quality, surgery success chance, and immunity gain speed when placed directly adjacent to a hospital bed. Only works for hospital beds - normal beds will not benefit. Attaching more than one vitals monitor to the same bed will have no effect.

A vitals monitor is a miscellaneous building that can be attached to a hospital bed to improve medical outcomes. It cannot be attached to any other type of bed.
Acquisition
Vitals monitors can be constructed once the Vitals monitor research project has been completed. They require 50 Steel, 3 Components, 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 8.
Summary
When placed adjacent to a hospital bed and provided with power, a vitals monitor improves the bed's
- Medical Tend Quality Offset by +7%
- Surgery Success Chance Factor by +5%
- Immunity Gain Speed Factor by +2%
All 3 stats are applied additively to the bed. For example, a normal quality hospital bed, which has a 110% surgery success factor, would now have 115% surgery success factor. This bed stat is then multipled by other impacts to surgery, such as doctor skill and Cleanliness.
Each hospital bed can benefit from at most one vitals monitor; placing additional monitors in range has no effect. Note: Do not confuse a "hospital bed" with any sleeping location designated as a "medical" bed. A vitals monitor only works for hospital beds - patients in any other type of bed or sleeping spot will not benefit.
The device covers all tiles immediately surrounding it (8 tiles). This makes it possible to link one vitals monitor to up to 8 beds, using a layout similar to the one shown.
Analysis

Both the medical tend quality and surgery success chance increase can be used to assist low skill doctors in their ability to execute operations and to heal.
A vitals monitor increases the level of care for injuries by boosting the medical tend quality, which is always a good thing, making recovery from combat injuries and diseases faster. For self-tending, that figure is at 70%, so every boost helps if your best doctor is forced to tend to their own ailments.[Fact Check]
It also increases the surgery success chance, however that has a maximum of 98%. This cap is relatively easy to reach, so a vitals monitor may not be helpful for surgeons with very high Medical skill or even modestly skilled surgeons in a well equipped, clean hospital.
Where the vital monitor is not so replacemable however, is in its boost to immunity. Several diseases are a "race" where the ongoing tend quality is weighed against the rapid progress of the disease, and there the bonus from a vitals monitor can save the life of pawns with lower immunity gain speed.
