Zomato founder and former CEO Deepinder Goyal recently announced a major engineering update for the Temple wearable device on X. According to Goyal, the device has been reduced to less than half its previous size, making it volumetrically the smallest yet most powerful wearable currently on the market. While specific dimensional metrics behind the size reduction were omitted, he claimed the breakthrough will transform daily training and lifestyle tracking.
The forehead-worn device utilizes sensors to continuously monitor real-time physiological indicators exclusively readable from the temple region. Temple introduces a proprietary biomarker named “Entropy”—an index ranging from 1 to 250 updated every second to reflect the body’s real-time metabolic and sympathetic effort. While a score of 1 represents deep, restful states recorded in experienced meditators, readings near 250 reflect maximum physiological demand seen in peak athletic output.
“The Temple team has made a breakthrough. We have discovered (literally discovered) a biomarker, only readable on the temple region, and nowhere else, that measures the real-time cost of you being alive. We are calling it Entropy™. It’s a live number on Temple’s home screen, updating every second, on an index from 1 to 250. 1 is the deepest rest we’ve ever recorded. We’ve only seen fit, experienced meditators touch it, for fleeting moments deep in practice. 250 is the highest we’ve seen in elite athletes at the peak of their output and flow”, Zomato founder and former CEO Deepinder Goyal posted on X.
“Everything moves Entropy. Sleep, stress, a sprint, coffee, a meal, a cold plunge, meditation, strength training… everything moves your metabolism, your cost of being alive. And Entropy tracks it, live. Heart Rate doesn’t come even close to this level of precision in calculating the cost of being alive. We benchmarked Entropy and Heart Rate against a standard metabolic cart (calorimeter). Over a hundred cardio sessions, Entropy tracked the calorimeter’s curve at r=0.93 and p <0.001. Heart Rate managed a meagre r=0.55”, Goyal added in his post about Entropy.
