Report focuses on accuracy and utility
According to the abstract, correspondent Jenna Congdon reports on the accuracy and utility of age prediction by wearables. So the article's stated focus is twofold: how accurate the predicted age is and how useful it is. The abstract does not say what was measured, which devices were compared or what the report concluded.
