Why doctors are questioning Deepinder Goyal’s Rs 85,000 ‘Temple’ wearable

What's behind this

Doctors are questioning Deepinder Goyal’s Rs 85,000 “Temple” wearable, noting that its claims lack proof. Goyal describes the device as a wellness gadget rather than a medical device. The wearable advertises the ability to track heart rate, brain blood‑flow signals and physiological strain, but critics say these claims are not supported by independent research. Comparisons are being drawn with popular fitness trackers such as the Apple Watch and Garmin, though it remains unclear how the Temple’s performance measures up against them.
