Deepinder Goyal’s Temple buys London longevity firm ahead of wearable launch

Deepinder Goyal's health-tech startup Temple has acquired Longevous, a London-based longevity medicine practice, as it prepares to launch a health wearable device in 2026. For parents concerned about adding yet another EMF-emitting device to their household, this news raises important questions about the growing trend of continuous health monitoring technology.

What This Acquisition Means

Temple is bringing on Longevous founders Dr. Robert Mohr and Dr. Avi Roy as Chief Medical Officer and Head of Science, respectively. According to Goyal's announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the acquisition will add clinical expertise to Temple's in-house science team. Mohr, a board-certified physician with nearly two decades of clinical experience, will be responsible for bringing clinical expertise to the company's experiments and health claims. Roy, an Oxford-trained biomedical scientist, previously served as a research fellow at the Centre for the Advancement of Sustainable Medical Innovation.

The deal reportedly grew from a chance meeting at a London dinner where Mohr and Roy noticed the Temple device Goyal was wearing on the side of his forehead. After testing the wearable for about two months, they worked with Temple's science team to evaluate its proprietary "Entropy" metric and data collection capabilities.

EMF Concerns for Health-Conscious Families

While Temple's device may offer health insights, it represents another wireless device in close contact with the body—in this case, worn on the forehead near the brain. For families already working to reduce electromagnetic field exposure through choices like low-EMF hair dryers and low-EMF air purifiers, continuous wearables present a different calculus: sustained proximity to sensitive areas versus potential health benefits.

Temple has not disclosed technical specifications about the device's EMF emissions or wireless protocols. For parents considering such devices for themselves or their families, key questions remain unanswered: What frequencies does it use? Can it operate in airplane mode? How often does it transmit data?

Just as homeowners concerned about EMF exposure research solutions like EMF shielding paint for protection from external sources, those interested in wearable health tech should demand transparency about emission levels before the 2026 launch. The addition of medical expertise to Temple's team could be a positive sign if it leads to more rigorous safety disclosures alongside health claims.
