1. A method of estimating a continuous blood pressure waveform in a subject comprising:
measuring an arterial blood pressure waveform with a sensor supported by a supporting structure comprising a polymeric substrate and connected to a processor and a transmitter, wherein the supporting structure is configured to press the sensor against a skin surface of a subject, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a biological metric of the subject, and wherein the processor is configured to quantify one or more signal(s) corresponding to the biological metric and the transmitter is configured to transmit the one or more signals to an external user system, and
transforming the arterial blood pressure waveform to the continuous blood pressure waveform using a transfer function.
