PV Sindhu Wears Temple Forehead Device Monitoring Brain Activity at BWF Championships
At the BWF World Championships 2026 in New Delhi, Indian badminton player PV Sindhu was seen wearing Temple, an innovative forehead wearable developed by Deepinder Goyal's team. Unlike typical fitness trackers, Temple monitors cerebral blood flow and brain oxygenation to provide insights into neurological fatigue and cognitive load. Experts note its potential to help athletes understand brain performance under physical and mental stress. Currently, Temple is experimental and not available for consumer purchase, reflecting a shift toward brain-focused sports technology.
