Overview
- Dr. Suvrankar Datta, a physician-scientist with AIIMS training, labeled the Temple gadget a “fancy toy” with zero scientific standing and urged people not to spend money on it.
- Goyal drew fresh attention after wearing the small metallic sensor on Raj Shamani’s podcast, describing it as an experimental, non‑invasive monitor of brain blood flow in real time.
- Temple is not a Zomato product and is being developed under Goyal’s private initiatives, with reports noting about $25 million in personal funding and roughly a year of self‑testing.
- Medical experts note that wearable cerebral blood‑flow tracking is still a research tool and caution that measuring perfusion does not demonstrate any ability to reverse ageing.
- Goyal links the prototype to his gravity ageing hypothesis and has previously apologized for miscommunicating aspects of it, while no peer‑reviewed validation, regulatory filings, or firm launch plans have been disclosed.
