Our practice uses Qbtech’s ADHD testing, an FDA-cleared medical device that provides objective data for diagnosing and treating ADHD for patients ages 6-60. This evidence-based testing allows us to gather more information on your symptoms to better understand your unique needs.
What is QbTest?
QbTest is one of the widest FDA-cleared objective tests for both the diagnosis and treatment management of ADHD. FDA clearance means that the FDA has determined that QbTest can discern ADHD patients from non-ADHD patients to a level deemed appropriate by the FDA. The test compares a patient to the age and sex-at-birth-matched normative group (people without ADHD).
QBTest is used in the initial assessment and throughout follow up treatment process, including measuring patient response to treatment, treatment optimization, and monitoring changes in symptoms over time.
Three reasons testing is important:
1. Avoiding bias due to age and sex differences
- ADHD presents very differently, depending one’s age/sex.
- Qbtech’s test results include data f rom age/sex-matched normative groups to ensure better comparisons of your symptom severity.
2. Symptoms of ADHD can overlap with other disorders
- Qbtech’s objective testing provides data to better understand if symptoms fit the presentation we expect with ADHD or not.
3. Ensuring optimal outcomes
- Finding the right treatment takes some trial-and-error, and determining treatment efficacy can be difficult.
- Qbtech’s testing allows us to measure response to treatment to ensure you are receiving optimal results in a streamlined way.
What to expect
- Testing involves a 15 to 20 minute, nonverbal, computer-based task.
- The task measures your attention level and impulse control.
- While taking the task, movements are measured to determine if hyperactivity
is present. - Results are compared to an age and sex matched group.
- With the information f rom your clinical interview and rating scale(s), your clinician will interpret results to determine if you qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
- If an ADHD diagnosis is indicated, our practice may then conduct Qbtech’s testing after treatment is initiated to measure your response to treatment
