Key Questions Answered
Temple is a forehead-mounted wearable device created under Deepinder Goyal's research initiative that uses Apple Watch-like photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to sit near the temple and track physiological signals associated with cerebral blood flow. Its central BrainFlow technology is designed to continuously measure these blood flow changes and help users understand how activities like exercise and sleep relate to their physiological responses.
Temple is expected to carry a price tag of around Rs 72,000, though official pricing remains unconfirmed. Pre-orders are anticipated to open soon with early-access waitlist priority, and shipments are projected to begin before the end of 2026. The initial launch edition will be available in six colors: True Gold, Rose Gold, Black Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue, and Purple Funk.
While a formal age policy has not been officially announced, Deepinder Goyal stated that the device's PPG technology does not pose a risk to developing brains and that individuals under 18 would likely not need it unless competing in the Olympics. Additionally, the research team is exploring a potential thoughts-to-text feature, though it remains several years away and is not a confirmed launch feature.
