If you receive a diagnosis and you are prescribed ADHD medication, Dr Brugman will use QbTest for treatment monitoring purposes. He may ask you to perform another QbTest when you start your prescribed ADHD treatment to see what impact it has on your inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

Testing involves a 15 to 20 minute, nonverbal, computer-based task.
The task measures your attention level and impulse control.
While performing the task, movements are measured to determine if hyperactivity is present.
Results are compared to an age and sex matched group.
With the information from your clinical interview and rating scale(s), Dr Brugman will interpret results to determine if you qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
If an ADHD diagnosis is indicated, our practice may then conduct Qbtech’s testing after treatment is initiated to measure your response to treatment.
