Temple is now smallest wearable and ‘10^10’ more powerful, says Deepinder Goyal

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal recently announced that Temple, the company's wearable device, is now the "smallest wearable" and claims to be "10^10 more powerful" than before. While details about the device's specific functions remain limited from available reporting, the announcement raises important questions for health-conscious families about the growing presence of wireless devices in our daily lives.

What This Means for EMF-Conscious Households

As wearable technology becomes increasingly compact and powerful, these devices typically rely on Bluetooth, WiFi, or cellular connections to function—all of which emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs). For parents already concerned about cumulative EMF exposure from smartphones, tablets, smart home devices, and nearby cell towers, adding another body-worn wireless device to the family's tech ecosystem deserves careful consideration.

Wearables are particularly noteworthy because they're designed to be worn directly against the skin for extended periods, often 24/7. This proximity means consistent exposure, even if the power levels are relatively low compared to cell phones. Just as families concerned about EMF exposure research low-EMF hair dryers and low-EMF air purifiers for their homes, it's worth applying the same scrutiny to devices that will be in constant contact with your body or your children's bodies.

Practical Considerations for Families

If you're evaluating whether wearable devices belong in your household, consider these factors: Can the device operate in airplane mode when wireless connectivity isn't needed? Does it allow you to disable certain radios while maintaining core functions? For homebuyers already investigating EMF shielding paint and assessing proximity to cell towers before purchasing property, evaluating the EMF profile of personal devices is a natural extension of that same health-conscious approach.

The key principle remains the same across all EMF considerations: distance and duration matter. The closer a transmitting device is to your body, and the longer you use it, the greater your exposure. Making informed choices about wearable technology is part of a broader strategy for managing your family's overall EMF environment.
