About
Founded in 2002, Qbtech provides in-off ice and telehealth ADHD testing and is transforming ADHD care through a technology-first approach. Qbtech developed the first FDA-cleared objective tests for ADHD evaluation and treatment monitoring. These objective tests streamline the ADHD assessment process and help clinicians, patients and their families to gain a better understanding of core ADHD symptoms.
Qbtech measures symptoms by combining a computer- based task with motion capture cameras, bringing more objectivity to evaluation and treatment. The company provides clinicians with industry-leading technology to clearly measure ADHD symptoms and tools and training for more confident decisions.

BENEFITS
According to published data from the AQUA Study, clinicians were statistically more confident when they had QbTest results available than when these results were withheld or unavailable during the evaluation process.
The benefits of Qbtech products in practiceare substantial, both for healthcare providers and patients:
• Improved access to care
• Elevated clinician confidence in diagnosis
• 50% better identification of treatment effects than self-report rating scales (ASRS)
• Standardization of care across multiple disciplines. For patients, we know that seeking an evaluation can be quite intimidating and you may have a lot of questions, you aren’t sure where to turn. We have added in this type of objective testing because we have heard from patients that:
• it is easy to do, yes it is boring, but because it doesn’t involve things like language, reading or math, it is not intellectually difficult
• patients get a better understanding of what their levels of activity, impulse control and attention looks like during the testing period and also being able to visually compare themselves to someone of their same age and gender at birth
• being able to measure how your treatment is working in a short, yet objective manner can lead to improved discussions with your clinician.
