QbCheck™ Testing for ADHD
QbCheck™ Objective ADHD Testing
Go beyond questionnaires with objective information about attention, impulsivity, and activity. QbCheck™ is an FDA-cleared, clinically validated ADHD test that adds standardized data to the clinical picture.
What Is QbCheck™?
QbCheck™ is an FDA-cleared computerized ADHD test that combines a standardized attention task with webcam-based movement tracking. It provides objective information about three core ADHD symptom domains and compares test performance with age- and sex-based normative data.
Attention
Examines patterns in attention, response consistency, and performance during a standardized task.
Impulsivity
Measures response patterns that provide objective information about impulse control during testing.
Activity
Uses webcam-based movement tracking to objectively measure activity throughout the test.
Why Objective ADHD Data Can Matter
ADHD does not always look the same at home, at school, at college, or at work. Rating scales and interviews tell us what people observe. QbCheck™ contributes a different type of information: standardized data collected during the test itself.
When the ADHD Picture Is Unclear
Objective testing can add useful information when symptoms, observations, or functional concerns do not tell a simple story.
- Parent and teacher observations differ
- Symptoms vary between settings
- Attention concerns overlap with anxiety, sleep, learning, or other factors
- Additional standardized information may help inform clinical decision-making
When Treatment Is Already Underway
Repeat testing may provide another source of objective information when monitoring treatment response over time.
- Compare standardized performance over time
- Monitor attention, activity, and impulsivity
- Add objective information to clinical follow-up
- Support more informed treatment discussions
How QbCheck™ Works
The testing process is designed to be straightforward, whether QbCheck™ is being used as part of an initial ADHD assessment or for follow-up monitoring.

When Might QbCheck™ Be Helpful?
First-Time ADHD Assessment
QbCheck™ may be incorporated into a comprehensive ADHD evaluation to add objective data to information gathered through the clinical interview, developmental history, functional assessment, and rating scales.
Conflicting Observations
When attention or activity looks different across home, school, college, or work settings, standardized testing can contribute another source of information.
Treatment Monitoring
Repeat QbCheck™ testing may be used when clinically appropriate to contribute objective information about changes during ADHD treatment.
Ages 6–25 at SHIELD
SHIELD Psychiatry offers QbCheck™ for school-age children, adolescents, college students, and young adults within our specialty age range.
QbCheck™ or a Comprehensive ADHD Evaluation?
They are not the same service. QbCheck™ provides focused, objective testing data. A comprehensive ADHD evaluation answers the broader clinical question of whether ADHD — or another condition — best explains the concerns.
