QbCheck
An objective ADHD test you take at home
Every Assessment UK assessment includes a QbCheck. This is a short online test that measures attention, activity and impulsivity. It gives your consultant objective data to sit alongside your clinical assessment, and you can do it from home.
A computer-based test
What is QbCheck?
QbCheck is a computer-based test developed by Qbtech. It’s FDA-cleared and CE-marked. It isn’t used alone to diagnose ADHD, but is used to support an ADHD diagnosis.
During the test, you respond to shapes on your screen while your webcam tracks your movement. This measures the three core features of ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Your results are then compared with people of the same age and sex who don’t have ADHD. That comparison helps your consultant see how your attention and activity levels differ from what’s typical for someone like you.
Not an optional extra
Why we include it
ADHD is diagnosed through a detailed clinical assessment with a consultant psychiatrist. QbCheck doesn’t replace that. It adds objective information to what you tell us, what your history shows and what your consultant observes, so your assessment draws on more than one source.
That’s why it’s part of our all-inclusive package, not an optional extra.
Your QbCheck
How it works
We send you a code
Once you've booked, you'll get a unique code and instructions by email.
You set up at home
Find a quiet room, sit at your laptop or computer, and follow the on-screen steps.
You take the test
It takes 15 minutes for children aged 6 to 12 and 20 minutes for anyone aged 12 and over. Allow some extra time to get set up.
Your consultant reviews the results
They'll look at your QbCheck report alongside everything else from your assessment.
What you’ll need
- A laptop or desktop computer with a built-in webcam (tablets and phones won’t work)
- A stable internet connection
- A quiet room where you won’t be interrupted
Your webcam tracks movement only. It doesn’t record images or video.
Tips on the day
- Take the test at a time when you’re usually alert, not straight after a big meal or late at night.
- Keep pets, siblings and phones out of the room.
- Position yourself so there’s no window or mirror behind you.
If you take ADHD medication, check with us before the test whether you should take it that day.
