NEW YORK, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Assessment Center has introduced a new, objective biological indicator for the assessment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (AD/HD) at its four New York Metro locations.
The DataLex(TM) AD/HD Indicator Report(TM) from Lexicor (http://www.lexicor.com/) gives parents, primary care physicians and pediatricians a new tool for the assessment of AD/HD. The quantitative report complements the patient history and medical examination, and is combined with a physician’s expert evaluation to lead to a more accurate assessment of AD/HD.
Medical Director of The Assessment Center, Dr. Richard Ruetter, said, “The Assessment Group, LLC has invested in the Lexicor technology to bring children and adults in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area an AD/HD evaluation tool that offers the highest accuracy available to date.”
The DataLex AD/HD Indicator Report is a distinct data analysis service that uses patient brain wave data collected from non-invasive, quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) technology. The report is based upon scientific research that shows AD/HD patients have distinct brain activity patterns compared to the normal population. The Report can classify those with AD/HD to an accuracy of 90 percent and identify those who do not have AD/HD to an accuracy of 94 percent.
Data is collected using a sensor-filled cap to measure the electrical patterns of the brain, while the patient sits comfortably in a chair in the assessment center. The procedure takes about an hour to complete. Once collected, The Assessment Center staff sends the qEEG data to Lexicor for analysis and a DataLex AD/HD Indicator Report is generated.
“We now have four Assessment Centers in the New York/New Jersey area ready to test both children and adults who show symptoms of AD/HD,” said Joe Brown, VP Sales, The Assessment Group, LLC.
