The Quotient™ ADHD System is a novel and systematic method to aid healthcare professionals in the objective diagnosis of ADHD. What sets the Quotient™ ADHD System apart from other evaluation systems for ADHD is its ability to translate the latest scientific knowledge about ADHD into objective measurements of the underlying symptoms of the disorder:
- Hyperactivity (inability to control movement and sit still while working)
- Inattention (difficulty in staying focused and on task)
- Impulsivity (inability to inhibit inappropriate responses)
Easy to Take, Easy to Interpret
The Quotient™ ADHD System doesn’t just look at the amount of a patient’s motor activity, attention and impulsivity, during the 15 or 20-minute, office-based and non-invasive test. It also evaluates the patterns of movement and attention, which research has confirmed are important in differentiating ADHD from other behavioral disorders and identifying a patient's subtype and level of ADHD.
While everyone experiences peaks and valleys of hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity, studies show that people with ADHD shift more rapidly between states of hyperactivity, inattention, distraction and impulsivity. During the Quotient™ ADHD System Test, which is administered in the healthcare professional’s office, the patient sits comfortably in front of the Quotient™ ADHD System kiosk and responds to a series of demanding yet monotonous tasks designed to assess how often and how quickly the patient goes back and forth between these states.
Within minutes after the Quotient™ ADHD System Test is completed, the results are compared to a database of test results for more than 2,000 children and adolescents who do not have ADHD. The clinician, patient and parents or caregivers are quickly provided with an easy-to-read patient report that clearly illustrates how the patient’s performance compares to individuals of the same age, grade and gender who do not have ADHD.
