The major issue with hypertension is the fact that it does not have any symptoms also measurements are highly variable in nature. However, high blood pressure has severe effects on a person's health. This poses a requirement for continuous blood pressure monitoring and analysis of people suffering from chronic condition. In this paper we propose PPG based continuous blood pressure and heart rate monitoring system in form factor of a Smart Eye wear. We do a feasibility analysis of the idea and show that it is possible to determine blood pressure and heart rate by sensing PPG from the side of head region (temple) where a spectacle frame would fit. The advantage of Smart Eye Wear over other wearable device is that it provides better contact, minimal motion artifact and maintains uniform pressure without causing any trouble to user.
