Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal has introduced the scientific team behind Temple’s BrainFlow wearable, a system designed for continuous measurement of blood flow to the brain. The team includes Dr Divya Gulati and Dr Sanchit Gupta from the Indian Institute of Science, Dr Yukti Chopra from SISSA Trieste in Italy, and Nitish Kumar from IIT Bombay. Goyal said the group led, built and validated what Temple describes as the first continuous wearable measurement of cerebral blood flow. Conventional hospital methods typically capture readings at single points in time rather than ongoing data. The brain accounts for about 20% of the body’s blood supply, and flow can change with ageing. Temple conducted a second validation study using time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy, or TD-NIRS, which can separate brain blood-volume changes from those in the scalp. The study involved 60 participants. The work forms part of Temple’s wider health and longevity research.
