PV Sindhu wears Deepinder Goyal’s brain-monitoring Temple device
Badminton star PV Sindhu was seen wearing a small brain-monitoring device called Temple on her forehead after a match in Delhi. The device is developed by Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal and tracks cerebral blood flow using light-based sensors and AI to monitor stress, fatigue and recovery.
Aajtak.in reports that the device is a health-tech project, about one inch in size, that is attached with medical double-sided tape and has not been officially launched for consumers. Bazaar.businesstoday.in reports that Goyal has revealed a new limited launch edition that is half the size of the previous version, claiming it is now the smallest wearable by volume. Pre-orders are expected soon, with shipping planned before the end of 2026.
The first 100 devices are reserved for athletes, scientists, doctors, founders and creators. Some doctors have raised questions about the scientific evidence behind measuring deep brain blood flow, Bazaar.businesstoday.in adds. The device remains in early testing and details on price, features and commercial availability are yet to be disclosed.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Aajtak.in's coverage is a neutral explainer focused on the device's basic function and use by Sindhu, without any critical framing. Bazaar.businesstoday.in is also largely neutral-report but includes sceptical voices from doctors, giving it a slightly more balanced, investigative framing by noting the lack of clinical evidence alongside the product updates. The middle ground is that Temple is an ambitious wearable that remains unproven: Goyal has shrunk the hardware and secured prominent early testers, but independent scientific validation is missing. The key number to watch is the 100-unit limited launch and whether peer-reviewed data accompanies any wider commercial release.
