Deepinder Goyal Defends Temple Brain Wearable Amid Scientific Criticism
Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal has defended his brain-monitoring wearable, Temple, against criticism from doctors questioning its scientific validity and clinical usefulness. Goyal emphasized his personal investment of 20 million in the device's development and highlighted plans for independent validation. Critics, including hepatologist Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, have raised concerns about the device's ability to accurately measure brain blood flow and the scientific basis of its claims, noting that the underlying Gravity Ageing Hypothesis remains unproven. The device is priced at 85,000 and offers a 14-day return policy.
