We have found the QbTest to be an invaluable tool in our approach to treating ADHD. By offering objective data on attention and hyperactivity levels, it allows us to tailor treatments specifically to each patient's unique needs. As we monitor progress with the QbTest, we can fine-tune interventions, ensuring the best possible outcomes for those we work with.
