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.
+
</onlyinclude>
  
== Acquisition ==
+
A vitals monitor can be attached to any [[bed]] that's been set for medical use. It increases the medical treatment quality by 7%, and the patient's immunity gain speed by 2%. These effects stack with the doctor's base healing quality and medicine usage, the patient's own immunity gain speed and the effects of a [[hospital bed]]. Neither the vitals monitor nor the hospital bed increase the surgery success chance.
Vitals monitors can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
 
  
== Summary ==
+
It is possible for up to eight adjacent beds to benefit from a single vitals monitor, though each bed will only benefit from one vitals monitor.
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Proper explanation of difference between direct factors and offsets}}
 
[[File:8 hospital beds compact.png|175px|thumb|left|Example compact placement of 8 hospital beds around a vitals monitor]]
 
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 multiplied by other impacts to [[surgery]], such as doctor skill and [[cleanliness]]. Notably, this includes Surgery Success offset being scaled by the [[quality]] of the attached bed. For example, a legendary quality hospital bed would have its surgery success factor increased by {{+|7%}}, instead of {{+|5%}} due to the {{Good|x1.3}} legendary quality multiplier.
 
  
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. Unlike the [[end table]], the vitals monitor can connect to any part of a medical bed and can connect through diagonals.

== Analysis ==
 
The vitals monitor is very cheap - less expensive than a single [[hospital bed]] - and improves many medical-related stats. So, for most colonies, the main cost of the vitals monitor is the research required. It requires a dedicated 2500 point research project, plus [[Research#Sterile tiles|Sterile Tiles]], [[Research#Hospital bed|Hospital Bed]], and [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] as prerequistes, so it tends to be reserved for the mid- to late-game.
 
 
 
The increase in [[tend quality]] is always a good thing, boosting recovery speed from physical [[injury]] and disease alike.
 
 
 
It also increases the surgery success chance. However, success is capped at 98%, and the cap is relatively easy to reach. Modestly skilled surgeons in a clean hospital don't need an extra boost. Regardless, the vitals monitor can provide insurance against sub-optimal conditions, like a dirty hospital or injured doctor.
 
 
 
The increase of immunity gain speed helps pawns fight off against most potentially deadly diseases, like [[infection]] and [[plague]]. The bonus from a vitals monitor can save the life of pawns with lowered immunity speed. Even when you can comfortably handle a disease, a vitals monitor will reduce the time spent resting in bed.
