In this video Dr. Becky Spelman, a HCPC registered psychologist and director of a private therapy clinic, underwent a preliminary assessment of ADHD using QBCheck, administered by her colleague Edward Fisher.

QBCheck is a computerized test that measures a person's attention, impulsivity, and activity level, which can provide objective data that can be used to aid in the diagnosis of ADHD. It is possible that Dr. Spelman exhibited symptoms that were consistent with ADHD during the test, such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.

Based on the results of the QBCheck assessment, Edward Fisher recommended that Dr. Spelman undergo a full diagnostic assessment for ADHD. This would involve a comprehensive evaluation of Dr. Spelman's medical history, symptoms, and behavior, and would be conducted by a healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or neurologist. A full diagnostic assessment will ultimately determine whether Dr. Spelman has ADHD or not.

There are various technologies that can aid in the diagnosis of ADHD, such as computerized tests, wearable devices, and mobile apps. Computerized tests can measure attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, while wearable devices can track physical activity and sleep patterns. Mobile apps can assist in monitoring symptoms and providing feedback to clinicians. However, it is important to note that technology should not be used as the sole method of diagnosis and should be used in conjunction with traditional diagnostic methods.

Thank you for providing more context. QBTest is a computerized test developed by Qbtech AB, a company based in Sweden. It is designed to aid in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults.

The test measures a person's attention, impulsivity, and activity level through a series of computerized tasks that are completed in about 15-20 minutes. The test provides objective data that can be used by healthcare professionals in conjunction with other diagnostic measures to aid in the diagnosis of ADHD. The remote version of the test, called QBCheck, allows for the test to be taken at home or in a remote setting, while still providing accurate and reliable results. It is important to note that the test should only be used as part of a comprehensive evaluation for ADHD and should not be used as the sole method of diagnosis.Dr. Becky Spelman is a top Psychologist in London, Becky is the Clinic Director for Private Therapy Clinic which has clinic's based all around central London including; Harley Street, Wigmore Street, Bank, Earls Court & Canary Wharf.

i just did that test yesterday. it's only now I realise that it was also testing how much moving i was doing.

[mark]

this is amazing! I love the videos - could you do a QB check at burning man do you think?

[Frisson]

The Qb test has fairly high innacuracy. Sensitivity, soecificity issues- WHERE DO YOU PLACE THE CUTOFF THAT THIS TEST IS ONLY SUGGESTIVE BUT HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF ATTEMPTING TO over REPORT??? ?

how did you get your leaving cert Becky? I know that's a very personal question but i've often wondered if the british system of 3 subjects you like (at pre- university level) would have suited me better, as opposed to the leaving cert which is 7 subjects, and so for me at least, required me to be good at everything, so it seemed. I did appallingly. Still so embarrassed of my leaving cert results at 54

Home management. When someone i hire can do it in 15 minutes. When I am not successful peofessionaly or formally emploued. Feels like im hiring a good person after conceding my incompetence. Too serious.

Does ADHD always require medication to treat it?

There's no space between your sentences. Suggestion is to do a QEEG brain map with an excellent neurofeedback clinic and get a reading from a Cognitive Neuroscientist. NFB can help heal/optimize your brain.

funny because this is why QBcheck isn;'t actually the most accurate way to asses for ADHD. You said you ''tried hard'' to do well in the test. So this actually skews the results.
