I’ve been keeping a close eye on what the big names in tech are wearing lately, and Deepinder Goyal just dropped a bombshell. If you caught his recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s Figuring Out podcast, you probably noticed that weird, futuristic clip on his head. Well, the mystery is officially over: it’s called Temple, and it’s about to change how we think about “health-tech.”
Forget everything you know about standard smartwatches; this is Zomato’s founder making a serious pivot into the wearable space.
The “Temple” Reveal: More Than Just a Clip
Cognitive Health > Step Counting
We’ve all seen fitness trackers that tell us how many steps we took, but Temple is playing a different game. While typical wearables live on your wrist, this device sits—as the name suggests—near your temple.
-
Focus: Both physical and cognitive health.
-
Unique Tech: Designed to go way beyond basic heart rate monitoring.
-
Form Factor: A small, clip-like gadget that’s surprisingly discreet.
Why it matters: Most wearables tell you about your body, but very few focus on your brain. By placing sensors near the temple, Goyal is likely aiming for deeper insights into stress, focus, or even neural patterns. In a world where mental burnout is a real issue, this could be the “killer app” for the health-tech industry.
How to Get One
If you want to be one of the first 100 people on the planet to test this out, the applications for early access are officially open. Given how much curiosity this sparked online, those spots are going to vanish in seconds.
The Big Question: Would you actually wear a device on your head if it promised to optimize your brainpower?
