Our practice utilizes QbCheck, a computer-based, FDA cleared, neuropsychiatric test as part of ADHD evaluation. Dr. Amin will let you know if this additional testing is needed when the clinical interview and collateral data isn't enough to clarify your diagnosis.

ADHD Evaluations with QbTest Telehealth powered by QbCheck – what should you expect?

A diagnostic assessment for ADHD involves three main parts: gathering a clinical history through an interview with your provider, an objective measurement of symptoms remotely, and the completion of one or more rating scales.

The test may also be done to assess for response to treatment in an objective manner. 

What is QbTest Telehealth powered by QbCheck?

QbTest Telehealth is an FDA-cleared test measuring all three core symptom domains; hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. It is used when evaluating ADHD symptoms and measuring response to ADHD treatment.

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.

 

What does the Telehealth set-up look like?

You can complete the test on your own PC or Mac, either a desktop or laptop. It cannot be taken on a tablet/ipad or smart phone. The setup looks just like the image above.

When will I receive my results?

The raw data is available immediately after the test is completed. However, Dr. Amin clinician must first interpret the data together with other relevant information. You will receive the interpretation at the follow-up appointment. The test in not meant to diagnose ADHD on its own and therefore, it is an additional piece in the larger assessment process. 

How should I prepare?

• Try to ensure adequate sleep the night before the test.
• Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine the day of the test.
• If you are to be tested while on ADHD medication, please ensure that you take the medication as directed. Our office will schedule the test a specific number of hours after the medication is taken, depending on the type of medication.
• Follow the instructions when you log in to the test. 

The test is designed to induce boredom. Given it your 100% effort and follow all the instructions to avoid invalidating the test results.
