Deepinder Goyal, founder of food-tech giant Zomato, is testing a new frontier in health technology with a brain-flow wearable, sparking interest in a potential venture named Temple. The device, worn near the temple area of the head, measures cerebral blood flow in real time—a biomarker increasingly linked to ageing, cognition, and longevity.
Temple’s online presence is minimal, featuring only a “Coming Soon” message and the line: “The future of health starts where no one’s looking. Inside your brain.” Goyal has described the company as “small” and “cute,” noting that it is “nothing compared to Eternal,” his broader health and wellness initiative.
The wearable gained public attention when Goyal was photographed at a Feeding India event alongside Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa, wearing the device. It was later confirmed by Goyal that this experimental prototype had been in use for a year under Continue Research, his personal biological research initiative.
Continue Research recently introduced the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis, which proposes that gravity can reduce cerebral blood flow by up to 17 percent in upright posture, potentially contributing to age-related cognitive decline. The research suggests that inversions, where the head is positioned below the heart, may help restore healthy blood flow, with passive inversions possibly more effective than active techniques like yoga.
Preliminary tests by Goyal’s team showed that using inversion tables for ten minutes a day over six weeks improved average brain flow by seven percent, potentially offsetting a decade of age-related decline.
Goyal emphasized that the device is not being launched as a commercial gimmick. “Temple is going to be a small cute company, if at all. We didn’t cook up the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis to sell Temple,” he said. He added that the wearable could address a growing global need for tools that support brain health, regardless of whether the Gravity Ageing Hypothesis is fully validated.
Last month, Goyal announced a $25 million fund for Continue Research to accelerate experiments in health and wellness, signaling a long-term commitment to scientific exploration in the field.
