Objective Adult ADHD Testing
More than a questionnaire. A clearer view of your attention.
When focus, time, and follow-through feel inconsistent, it can be difficult to explain what is happening—or to know whether ADHD is truly the reason.
Novascend Neurowellness provides comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations for adults in California. When clinically appropriate, objective computer-based testing may add information about attention, activity, and impulsive responding to the evaluation.
When clinically appropriate, testing may be completed from a suitable home setting using a compatible computer and camera.
The task provides quantifiable information related to inattention, activity, and impulsive responding.
Results support clinical decision-making but never replace a comprehensive psychiatric assessment.
A More Complete Picture
Innovative at-home ADHD testing
ADHD symptoms are often described through memory, questionnaires, and personal observations. Those perspectives are essential, but they can be influenced by stress, fatigue, environment, and the difficulty of recalling patterns over time.
QbCheck offers an additional source of information. During a structured computer task, the system measures response patterns and movement to create an objective snapshot of attention, activity, and impulsivity.
Requesting an appointment begins with a clinical conversation about your concerns, history, and goals. Objective testing may be discussed when it is available, clinically appropriate, and likely to add useful information to your comprehensive evaluation.
Objective Clinical Information
What is QbCheck?
QbCheck is an FDA-cleared, computer-based assessment aid that provides healthcare professionals with objective measurements related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
During the task, the system records response speed, accuracy, consistency, and movement through compatible camera technology. Your clinician interprets the report together with your developmental history, current symptoms, sleep, medical concerns, medications, substance use, and daily functioning.

Reviews response speed, missed targets, timing, and consistency during a sustained-attention task.
Activity
Uses camera-based motion tracking to record movement and restlessness while the task is completed.
Impulsivity
Identifies premature or incorrect responses that may add context to impulse-control concerns.
Beyond a Questionnaire
Objective data is useful only when the full story is considered.
A computer task can add clarity, but ADHD remains a clinical diagnosis. No single score, questionnaire, or performance test can confirm it alone.
Other Conditions Can Look Similar
Anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep disorders, medical concerns, substance use, and medication effects can resemble or intensify ADHD-like symptoms.
ADHD Does Not Look One Way
Some adults appear visibly restless. Others seem composed while privately struggling with working memory, time awareness, organization, and mental overload.
Your History Still Matters
A thoughtful evaluation considers childhood patterns, health history, relationships, work or school demands, sleep, and how symptoms affect everyday responsibilities.

Common Questions
What patients often want to know before requesting care
Clear expectations can make it easier to decide whether an evaluation is the right next step.
Does objective testing diagnose ADHD?
No. Objective testing may add information about attention, movement, or response patterns, but ADHD remains a clinical diagnosis based on the full evaluation.
Will every patient complete at-home testing?
No. Testing depends on availability, technology requirements, clinical appropriateness, and whether the results are likely to add useful information.
Can I request an evaluation even if I am unsure it is ADHD?
Yes. The evaluation is designed to consider ADHD as well as sleep, anxiety, depression, trauma, medical concerns, substance use, medication effects, and other possible contributors.
Does requesting an appointment guarantee medication?
No. Treatment recommendations are individualized and based on clinical findings, safety, medical history, patient preferences, and applicable prescribing requirements.
