Background information

Overview of this session

Qbtech, whose mission is to improve the lives of those with ADHD, is creating a new tool to help with ADHD assessments. This tool lets patients fill out important forms and tests online before or during their evaluation. It includes symptom checklists, patient history, and other tests.

In the session, we will be exploring:

  • The ease of use of the technology
  • How useful the technology is
  • How could it be improved

What we do with your feedback

Feedback from the session will be collated by Qbtech and used to help shape the development of the new tool. Getting patient feedback is a crucial part of ensuring the tool meets users' needs, improves functionality and enhances overall user satisfaction. All feedback will be anonymised, and no personally identifiable information will be shared outside of the focus group.
