Headline: NHS Approves QbTest to Expedite ADHD Diagnosis
Caption:
The NHS has been given the green light to use QbTest, a new digital assessment to expedite the diagnosis of ADHD in children and young people, as reported by the Guardian. Approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice), this computer-based test evaluates inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. By combining QbTest results with other collected information, clinicians can diagnose or rule out ADHD more efficiently. Experts anticipate that this will help more children get diagnosed within six months of their initial assessment addressing the long waiting periods that currently exist.
