Competitors submit blood spots, cognitive tests, grip strength, and facial selfies to generate biological age scores across organ systems. The piece follows a journalist signing up as a participant, explains how aging clocks work and their scientific limitations, and shares early leaderboard results and participant experiences. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
