A diagnostic assessment for ADHD involves three main parts: gathering a clinical history through an interview with your provider, an objective measurement of symptoms using QbTest, and the completion of one or more rating scales.
Both the in-clinic (QbTest) and remote version (QbCheck) involve a 15 or 20-minute computer-based task that measures your (or your child’s) ability to maintain attention and impulse control.
Meanwhile, an infrared camera tracks movements, and therefore activity, during the test. The results are based on a comparison of your (or your child’s) performance with data from other people of the same sex and age.
The raw data is available immediately after the test is completed. However, your clinician must first interpret the data together with other relevant information.
In some cases, feedback can be provided in the same appointment, but sometimes a follow-up appointment will need to be scheduled.
