Deepinder Goyal says Temple wearable to ship by end of 2026, pre-orders ‘very soon’

Deepinder Goyal, CEO of Zomato, has announced that the company's Temple wearable device is expected to ship by the end of 2026, with pre-orders opening "very soon." While details about the device's specific features remain limited, the announcement adds another player to the growing wearable technology market—a development that may concern parents and homebuyers already mindful of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure in their daily lives.

What This Means for EMF-Conscious Families

Wearable devices typically emit radiofrequency EMF radiation to maintain wireless connectivity with smartphones and other devices. These gadgets are worn directly on the body for extended periods, often 24/7, which raises questions for health-conscious parents about cumulative exposure—especially for children whose developing bodies may be more vulnerable to environmental factors.

While we don't yet know the specific technical specifications of the Temple wearable, consumers concerned about EMF exposure should look for transparency around radiation levels when the device becomes available. Just as families research low-EMF air purifiers and low-EMF hair dryers for their homes, the same scrutiny should apply to devices worn against the skin.

Practical Steps for Mindful Tech Use

For families already using or considering wearable technology, simple precautions can help minimize exposure: remove devices during sleep, take regular "tech breaks," and avoid letting children wear them continuously. Those creating low-EMF home environments might also consider strategies like EMF shielding paint to reduce overall household exposure from multiple wireless sources.

As the 2026 launch approaches, interested consumers should watch for published SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) values and consider whether the device's features justify adding another EMF source to their daily routine. Making informed choices about technology adoption remains essential for families prioritizing both connectivity and wellness.
