Computerized ADHD Testing by Qbtech
The QBcheck represents a cutting-edge advancement in the assessment of ADHD online. It is a computer-based, FDA-cleared tool designed to objectively measure the three core symptoms of ADHD: hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. This test is approved for use in individuals aged 6 to 60 years
Methodology and Functioning:
​
The QBcheck test utilizes a combination of motion tracking technology and computerized tasks to gather data on the participant's behavior and attention patterns. During the test, the participant is required to respond to certain stimuli on a computer screen while a camera records their movements. This setup allows for the precise tracking of both physical movements and attention shifts, providing a multifaceted view of the individual's behavioral patterns.
The tasks are designed to be engaging yet challenging enough to accurately elicit symptoms of ADHD. As the participant interacts with these tasks, QBcheck collects data on various parameters, such as the frequency of correct and incorrect responses, reaction times, and the degree of movement. This information is crucial in identifying patterns consistent with ADHD symptoms.
Comparative Analysis:
​
One of the most important aspects of the QBcheck test is its ability to compare an individual's results with normative data. This comparison is made against a large, well-established database that includes profiles of individuals with clinically diagnosed ADHD and those without. By comparing results to individuals of the same age and gender, QBcheck offers a personalized and contextually relevant assessment, enhancing the accuracy of the diagnosis.
Evaluating Treatment Response:
The QbTest will also be used to monitor treatment response. It's the only FDA-cleared device for this purpose, and can help us evaluate changes in activity, attention, and impulsivity over time. QbTest can also distinguish the effects of pharmacological treatments within hours of titration, and can be used for long-term treatment monitoring.
