The Benefits of QbCheck Testing in Diagnosing ADHD

How objective technology is transforming ADHD diagnosis at Evolve Psychiatry and Wellness

Diagnosing ADHD has traditionally relied heavily on subjective tools—interviews, rating scales, and observational data from caregivers, teachers, and clinicians. While these tools remain valuable, they can sometimes be influenced by personal bias, inconsistent reporting, or difficulty distinguishing ADHD symptoms from other conditions like anxiety or trauma.

At Evolve Psychiatry and Wellness, we’re proud to offer QbCheck, a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared tool that adds an objective layer to the ADHD diagnostic process—improving accuracy, reducing uncertainty, and helping patients and families feel more confident in their care.

What Is QbCheck?

QbCheck is a computerized test that measures three core areas affected by ADHD:

• Attention

• Impulsivity

• Activity level

The test typically takes about 15–20 minutes and is completed on a computer using a webcam. During the test, the patient responds to visual stimuli while their activity and reaction patterns are recorded and compared to normative data for their age and gender.

Why Is QbCheck So Valuable?

Here are some key benefits of incorporating QbCheck into ADHD evaluations:

1. Objective, Reliable Data

QbCheck provides visual graphs and standardized scores that can clearly show where a patient falls in terms of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This removes much of the subjectivity that can accompany ADHD diagnosis.

2. Supports More Accurate Diagnoses

By comparing the patient’s performance to normative data, QbCheck helps clinicians distinguish ADHD from other conditions that may present similarly—such as anxiety, trauma, depression, or learning differences.

3. Tracks Treatment Progress Over Time

QbCheck can be repeated to monitor how a patient responds to medication or behavioral interventions. If a stimulant or non-stimulant medication is started, the test can provide concrete data on whether attention and activity levels are improving.

4. Enhances Communication with Families and Schools

The visual reports generated by QbCheck are easy to understand, making it a powerful tool when sharing findings with families, therapists, teachers, or school support teams.

Who Can Benefit from QbCheck?

QbCheck is available for children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults. It’s especially useful in:

• First-time ADHD evaluations

• Complex cases where multiple diagnoses may be present

• Monitoring treatment effectiveness

• Helping skeptical caregivers or schools better understand the patient’s struggles
