Is now a good time to invest in expensive new wearable health tracking technology?
Pre-orders for the Temple wearable are set to begin on November 1, 2026. This new wellness device monitors cerebral blood flow and is expected to cost around $1,000.
Why it matters
The wearable is designed for wellness and research applications, allowing users to monitor their physiological strain through a proprietary entropy score. It is not intended for the diagnosis of any medical conditions.
The device uses optical sensors to measure cerebral blood flow and provides an entropy score between 1 and 250. The adhesive Grips used to secure the device are designed for a 7-day stretch duration, though replacements are suggested every 2 to 3 days.
The players
Temple
Temple is a technology company specializing in the development of biometric wearables for wellness and research applications.
The details
Designed to fit discreetly under glasses, the Temple wearable attaches to the side of the head between the ear and the forehead. The launch edition will be available in six different colors, with the initial processing of orders handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Timeline
Pre-orders for the Temple wearable open on November 1, 2026.
All initial deliveries are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.
The Tech Race
The Temple wearable follows a pattern set by the Apple Watch health tracking sensors by expanding the reach of biometric data collection into new physiological areas. This release represents a move toward sophisticated, non-invasive monitoring that bridges the gap between research tools and consumer electronics.
Users should plan for the recurring cost of replacement adhesive Grips, which are recommended for change every two to three days. The device is not a medical tool, so consumers should continue to rely on professional healthcare providers for any diagnostic needs.
The takeaway
This device offers a new way for individuals to track physiological data for personal wellness. Users should carefully review the device's capabilities to ensure it aligns with their specific research or wellness goals.
