What they do

Temple makes a forehead-worn device that tracks blood flow signals to measure a proprietary health metric called entropy

The startup is in talks to raise new capital at a valuation of roughly five hundred million dollars

That would be a sharp jump from the one hundred ninety million dollar valuation it secured earlier this year

The health technology startup Temple is looking for new funding at a valuation of about $500 million.
Earlier in 2026, the company raised $54 million at a valuation of $190 million.
Temple is expanding its workforce and product development for a wider commercial launch.
The company ran its first ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) liquidity programme in 2026.
Its first wearable device is expected to cost roughly INR 80,000.

The company focuses on the healthy ageing and lifespan extension market for high-performance individuals.
The startup claims its forehead-worn device provides richer physiological data compared to traditional wrist or finger-based wearables.
The business is targeting professionals and athletes willing to pay for continuous metabolic and recovery insights.

Temple produces a pebble-shaped device designed to be worn on the side of the forehead.
The hardware detects blood flow signals to generate a proprietary health metric called entropy.
Entropy measures the cost of survival in the present moment on a scale of 1 to 250.
The metric updates second-by-second and is influenced by factors like sleep, exercise, food, and meditation.
The device includes a lifetime supply of adhesive tapes required for securing the unit to the user's skin.
The company tracks maximum and minimum entropy levels to help users optimize their physical and mental recovery.

Product: A brain-monitoring wearable device designed to track health metrics.
Customers: Individual consumers interested in health and brain-monitoring technology.
How it makes money: Direct sale of wearable hardware devices to consumers.
What sets it apart: Claims to be the smallest wearable device on the market.
Operations: Manufacturing is outsourced to partners like Zetwerk and Ethereal Machines.
