QbTesting

The QbTest is an FDA-cleared test that measures all 3 core symptom domains; hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. QbTest is used when evaluating ADHD symptoms and measuring response to ADHD treatment. 

What to Expect

  • Your clinician may recommend you/your child have QbTesting to help assist in diagnosis, and or follow treatment response. Patients may also request to have QbTesting.

  • Non patients also have the option of getting QbTesting through ADHD Life Medical Associates. This can be done by a referral from your primary care physician, or without a referral. It is important to let us know if you would like a follow-up appointment with us for test results, or if your primary care provider feels comfortable interpreting the results.

  • QbTest involves a 15 or 20-minute computer-based task that measures you/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 the patients performance with data from other people of the same sex and age who do not have ADHD. 

  • After initial testing is done, test results can be obtained the next week, or first available appointment thereafter, by making a follow-up appointment with ADHD Life Medical Associates, or by requesting results to be forwarded to your primary care clinician. It is imperative that your primary care clinician feel comfortable interpreting these results. So please discuss this with them prior to testing. Patients/Non patients who wish to have test interpretation done by ADHD Life Medical Associates should schedule a follow-up appointment with us. This is a separate charge from the testing appointment. It is important to note, he QbTest is not a stand alone tool for diagnosing ADHD, it is meant to be used along with the clinical interview and subjective tests and rating scales. We are not able to make a formal diagnosis for non patients without a thorough evaluation through a new patient intake appointment.

***ADHD Life Medical Associates will not make an official diagnosis based on results obtained after testing given the request is for testing only. The diagnosis of ADHD requires additional history taking and other potential workup based on medical and family history, family/significant other's observations that your primary care doctor or specialist may want after seeing the Qb Test results. If your primary care provider does not feel comfortable managing ADHD, you may wish to set up a new patient visit with ADHD Life Medical Associates or request a referral from Adhdlife81@gmail.com.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • You have to be at least 6 years old to 60 years old.

  • No! You can get tested even if you are not a patient of ours. Find out more above in What to Expect.

  • The webcam does not record images but only tracks movements. It might also be worth noting that your test results are anonymized and processed according to local data protection regulations.

  • The test itself takes 15 or 20 minutes but additional time should be allowed for the setup, rating scale completion as well as ability test.

  • The test is designed to be challenging to assess your ability to sustain attention, impulse control and level of activity. You should not be concerned if you feel you did not perform well – there is no such thing as “pass or fail” for this type of test and the test is not dependent on language, reading or mathematical skills.

  • ADHD Life Medical Associates does not offer refunds for testing after tests are started and/or completed. We also do not accept insurance. However, many insurances will cover QbTesting. All Clients receive a superbill they may turn into their insurance to try and get reimbursement. Please consult with your insurance company if you wish to do so prior to testing so you are fully informed of your costs.

  • Test results typically take 5-7 business days to receive.

  • QbCheck results are used to aid in the assessment and treatment of ADHD. We encourage you to speak with your provider to learn more.

  • Yes, the QbTest is confidential because the camera only tracks the movement of a marker and does not record images. Your test results are anonymized and processed according to local data protection regulations.

  • QbTest is well documented, widely used, CE-marked, and registered or cleared by all concerned authorities, including The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and The Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

  • Assessing ADHD may be complicated and there is no single clinical tool that is able to give all the answers. The QbTest provides objective data that together with other clinical information will help a clinician assess a patient for ADHD. QbTest can also be used for treatment follow-up and adjusting medication management.

  • A ‘faked’ performance (non-responsiveness, malingering, etc.) is normally relatively easy to spot. The objective test is one of several measures used to diagnose ADHD. So, if a child’s performance is inconsistent in the objective test, this should be apparent.
