Deepinder Goyal Answers Questions About Temple Wearable
Temple is a small wearable that sits near the side of a person’s head.
It is being developed to measure blood flow in the brain.
Deepinder Goyal answered questions about how it stays on and how to use it.
He said special sticky Grips hold it to the skin, and each Grip should only be used once.
He said people can shower and swim while wearing Temple, but should not scuba dive with it.
The company recommends changing the Grip every two or three days.
Goyal said he had not heard of users having itchy skin from it.
Temple is planned in six colours, and people on the early-access list are expected to get priority when pre-orders begin.
Deepinder Goyal said Temple attaches to skin using single-use adhesive Grips, with unlimited replacements included in the price.
He said Temple can be worn while running, jumping, showering, swimming and using a sauna, but not scuba diving because of the device.
A Grip cannot be reused; Goyal recommends replacing it every two to three days, although some users keep one on for about seven days.
Goyal said Temple’s smooth edges help it slide under clothing, and he had not heard reports of itching so far.
The launch edition will come in six colours; pre-orders were expected to open soon, with early-access waitlist members given priority.

“Super sticky – can run, jump, sauna, swim, shower with it. Everything except scuba dive (but that's a device issue, not a tape issue). Doesn't move. Doesn't itch.”
