Hi @philgoddard, due to the confidentiality agreement I am not allowed to release the info ;) anyway, it is basically a study on determination of bone age using ultrasound

I wonder what the device is.
David Hollywood Aug 19, 2021:
"age of majority" technically ok but I prefer the Lancashireman verbal construction

assessing whether asylum seekers ... are adults or children

German compound nouns do not necessarily translate into English as noun phrases. The same applies to your other question (Endgrößenprognose).

Dieses neu entwickelte, mobile Gerät soll unter anderem bei der Volljährigkeitseinschätzung von nach Deutschland eingereisten Flüchtlingen eingesetzt werden.
This recently developed mobile device can be used to assess whether asylum seekers arriving in Germany are adults or children.

'unter anderem' is generally superfluous, but if you are wary of omitting it:
One of the uses for this recently developed mobile device is the assessment of whether asylum seekers arriving in Germany are adults or children.

I don't think it has anything to do with 'age of majority' (voting rights etc). Knowing that children cannot be repatriated, some adult illegal immigrants lie about their age.

assessing the chronological age of asylum seekers

Age assessments generally refer to any procedures used to establish an individual’s chronological age.
Example sentence:

Assessing Chronological Age of Unaccompanied Minors in Southern Italy

There are a variety of methods to assess the chronological ages of minors [1]. From history taking, to a medical examination (physical exam, sexual maturity); the use of official state documents
