  • There are multiple parts used in making the diagnosis of ADHD. Information gathered from friends, family, teachers and yourself is used in conjunction with testing. There is no lab test for ADHD, but Focused Adult is a provider of QbCheck, an FDA approved, objective test for ADHD.

  • QbCheck is a medical device/system, cleared by the FDA, that measures the core symptoms associated with ADHD. The test is devised to test patients ages 6-60. QbCheck is done at home, under controlled settings. The fundamental core of the QbCheck is a computer assisted attention and impulse control task that simultaneously records activity using an infrared camera for precise motion measurements. This test is one piece of the data used to diagnose and monitor the treatment of our patients.

  • QbCheck provides data that, together with other information collected from the patient and family, helps to identify, exclude, and monitor ongoing treatment of ADHD.
