At The Healed Mind Psychiatry, we offer QB Check for ADHD evaluation. An objective FDA-cleared test that measures all three core symptoms domains associated with ADHD ; hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.
It is used when evaluating ADHD symptoms and measuring response to ADHD treatment.
No appointment needed for testing. Walk-ins are welcome.
Children 6 yrs old - 17 years old: 10 - 11 minutes test time
Adulta 18 yrs old - 60 years old: 15 - 20 minutes test time
This objective diagnostic assessment for ADHD involves three main parts:
The in-clinic (QbTest) 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.
When will I receive my results?
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.
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.
• For a child, explain that they will be taking a test on a computer which is designed to be boring.
