A blood pressure and cardiac monitoring system comprising: a sensing assembly, which is a multi-axis assembly comprising: a first accelerometer located at a first axis of a target generating a first time-dependent motion waveform representative of one or more contractile properties of the target's heart; a second accelerometer located at a second axis of the target generating a second time dependent motion waveform representative of the target's blood flow; a third sensor located either at the first or the second axis of the target and configured to generate a third time dependent waveform representative of the electrical potential due to a depolarization of a heart muscle, which is usable to determine a time interval for monitoring the blood pressure from a peak in the electrical potential; a fourth sensor located along any axis of the target and configured to either detect attributes from an environment for providing context awareness information or to remove motion artifacts; and a processor configured to receive the first time dependent motion waveform and the second time dependent motion waveform, and to determine a first time difference between a vital sign present in the first time dependent motion waveform and the second time dependent motion waveform and to determine the blood pressure therefrom, wherein the blood pressure and cardiac monitoring system is integrated into a client device; and a housing which encapsulates the sensing assembly and the processor and which is formed from a thin film material. a sensing assembly, which is a multi-axis assembly comprising: a first accelerometer located at a first axis of a target generating a first time-dependent motion waveform representative of one or more contractile properties of the target's heart; a second accelerometer located at a second axis of the target generating a second time dependent motion waveform representative of the target's blood flow; a third sensor located either at the first or the second axis of the target and configured to generate a third time dependent waveform representative of the electrical potential due to a depolarization of a heart muscle, which is usable to determine a time interval for monitoring the blood pressure from a peak in the electrical potential; a fourth sensor located along any axis of the target and configured to either detect attributes from an environment for providing context awareness information or to remove motion artifacts; and a first accelerometer located at a first axis of a target generating a first time-dependent motion waveform representative of one or more contractile properties of the target's heart; a second accelerometer located at a second axis of the target generating a second time dependent motion waveform representative of the target's blood flow; a third sensor located either at the first or the second axis of the target and configured to generate a third time dependent waveform representative of the electrical potential due to a depolarization of a heart muscle, which is usable to determine a time interval for monitoring the blood pressure from a peak in the electrical potential; a fourth sensor located along any axis of the target and configured to either detect attributes from an environment for providing context awareness information or to remove motion artifacts; and a processor configured to receive the first time dependent motion waveform and the second time dependent motion waveform, and to determine a first time difference between a vital sign present in the first time dependent motion waveform and the second time dependent motion waveform and to determine the blood pressure therefrom, wherein the blood pressure and cardiac monitoring system is integrated into a client device; and a housing which encapsulates the sensing assembly and the processor and which is formed from a thin film material.
