Deepinder Goyal’s Temple wearable tracks brain blood-flow from side of head

Why it matters for readers: If you’re curious about wearables, this shows a device that measures brain-related blood flow from the side of the head instead of the wrist.

  • Temple is a small pill-shaped device that attaches between the forehead and ear using disposable adhesive grips.1
  • The device uses BrainFlow technology to track blood-flow–related signals from the head.1
  • Company statements put a possible retail price around ₹1 lakh and say pre-orders in India will open soon.1
  • Temple is claimed to be usable during running, swimming and showering, with grips that can last up to seven days.1
  • Goyal suggested potential uses such as assessing pilot fitness but the device is not approved or certified for aviation safety.1
