What is Temple?
Temple is a brain-monitoring wearable device by former Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal. It sits around the temple/forehead area to monitor cerebral blood flow and other neurological signals, with potential applications in tracking brain and cognitive performance.
As of now, Temple is in the early stages of testing, with the first 100 devices intended for selected users such as athletes, scientists, doctors, founders, and creators. Recently, PV Sindhu was also spotted wearing Temple. Therefore, details such as benchmarks, pricing, and detailed features remain under wraps, with more information expected as the company moves closer to its wider commercial launch.
Even before its public release, Temple was criticised by doctors due to its lack of scientific standing and clinical evidence, its inability to measure deep brain blood flow, and promoting unproven gadgets to the public.
