Temple Acquires Longevous Ahead of Experimental Wearable Launch
Deepinder Goyal’s company Temple has acquired a London-based practice called Longevous.
Longevous studies ways to help people stay healthier for longer.
Its founders, Robert Mohr and Avi Roy, will now work full-time at Temple.
Mohr will become the company’s chief medical officer.
Roy will become its head of science.
Temple is developing a small device worn near the side of the head.
The company says it can measure signals related to blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain.
Mohr and Roy tested the device for about two months and reviewed Temple’s early scientific work.
However, the device’s main scientific claims have not yet been confirmed by published peer-reviewed research.
Deepinder Goyal’s health-tech startup Temple acquired London-based longevity medicine practice Longevous for undisclosed terms.
Longevous founders Robert Mohr and Avi Roy, along with their team, will join Temple full-time.
Mohr will become Temple’s chief medical officer and oversee clinical rigor for its experiments and health claims.
Roy will become Temple’s head of science and lead its scientific efforts.
Temple’s wearable is designed to monitor cerebral blood flow and oxygenation; its Entropy metric remains unsupported by published peer-reviewed evidence.

Founder of Temple and the person describing how Mohr and Roy became involved with the company
“Their curiosity slowly turned into conviction as they pressure tested Entropy and the data that Temple can collect, with our science team. They challenged our assumptions and poked holes in our vision. Slowly, they became deeply involved in our validation work and have even reviewed our first scientific manuscripts before submission.”
