Qbtech: Bringing Clarity to ADHD Diagnosis
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in children but also one of the most misunderstood. For many students, the path to a diagnosis can feel frustrating and uncertain, relying heavily on checklists, teacher observations, and personal impressions.
That’s where Qbtech comes in.
Since 2000, this Sweden-based company has been creating technology that brings science and objectivity into ADHD assessments. Their tools give educators, clinicians, and families measurable insights into a child’s attention, activity level, and impulse control—helping turn guesswork into clarity.
WHAT IS QBTECH?
Qbtech offers two core tools—QbTest (for clinics) and QbCheck (for remote or in-school use). Both are FDA-cleared, CE-marked, and backed by over 20 years of research. They measure the three hallmark traits of ADHD:
Hyperactivity – excessive or restless movement
Inattention – difficulty sustaining focus
Impulsivity – acting quickly without considering consequences
These are assessed using a combination of computer-based tasks and motion tracking. The results are compared to large databases of individuals of the same age and sex, making the findings more precise and unbiased.
HOW IT WORKS
QbTest is conducted in a clinic using specialized hardware such as infrared motion tracking to measure every movement and reaction. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
QbCheck is web-based, requiring only a standard computer and webcam. This makes it ideal for schools, allowing assessments to be completed on-site or even at home under supervision.
During the test, the student completes a simple attention task while their movement and responses are recorded. The system generates a visual, data-rich report that clinicians can interpret alongside traditional evaluations and DSM-5 criteria.
WHY SCHOOLS ARE PAYING ATTENTION
Schools are often the first to notice signs of ADHD. Early, objective screening can:
Reduce delays in diagnosis by providing measurable data to share with healthcare providers
Support educational planning with clearer insight into a student’s needs
Build trust with parents through transparent, visual reports
Track progress over time when interventions or medication are introduced
The result? Less guesswork, more clarity, and a faster path to support.
BACKED BY RESEARCH AND RECOGNITION
Qbtech’s solutions are supported by more than 40 peer-reviewed studies and are used by over 10,000 clinicians worldwide. They are recommended by NICE (UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and recognized for innovation by NHS awards.
THE FUTURE OF ADHD ASSESSMENT
While no single test can diagnose ADHD alone, Qbtech’s technology offers something invaluable: objective evidence. For schools, it’s an opportunity to partner with clinicians, streamline referrals, and give families confidence in the evaluation process.
Early intervention changes outcomes. Tools like Qbtech are helping schools become an active part of that change.
