Temple, the brain-monitoring wearable, is scheduled to open for pre-orders on November 1. The company has already started promoting the device online to generate interest. Deepinder Goyal, its CEO, has been increasingly active on X, formerly Twitter, responding to questions and clarifying details about the upcoming product. In recent exchanges with users, Goyal confirmed that Temple's data can be shared with doctors and explained the company's device replacement policy.
Priyanshu Goswami, who uses the handle @darksentry312 on X, asked, “Just curious all the data that will be collected through this, can we share it with our doctors in future?” Goyal responded with a simple “Yes,” confirming that users would be able to share their data with medical professionals.
Another user asked whether the website's reference to device replacements at a nominal fee meant customers could upgrade to a newer model at a reduced cost. Goyal clarified that the policy applies to lost devices and does not cover upgrades to newer models. “This doesn't include new models,” he said.
What Temple brings to the table
What distinguishes Temple from other wearable devices is its focus on monitoring activity and processes inside the brain. It tracks changes in cerebral blood flow and signals associated with brain oxygenation and cognitive load. The goal is to help users understand how their bodies respond to stress, physical activity and recovery.
The device also provides an Entropy score ranging from 1 to 250, intended to reflect physiological strain. Factors including sleep, exercise, stress and caffeine consumption can affect the score. However, Temple is designed for wellness monitoring and research purposes rather than medical diagnosis.
Another notable feature is its design, which is intended to keep the wearable securely in place during everyday activities and exercise. It attaches to the skin using disposable adhesive strips called Grips. According to Goyal, users can wear it while running, swimming and even showering. The company also says its compact construction allows it to fit comfortably beneath glasses.
Temple comes with a lifetime subscription that provides access to all app features, along with personalised onboarding through a one-on-one introduction to the device.
The first batch of Temple is priced at Rs 85,000. The wearable will be offered in six colours: True Gold, Rose Gold, Black Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk. Of these, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk will be available as limited-edition options.
