It's an automated machine that presents a series of games and challenges for a user to participate in, all while watching that user with a pair of cameras -- one up top to monitor head movement and one below to look for a bouncing leg. We think the same could be done far cheaper with a webcam and a Yurex leg odometer (http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/yurex-the-stat-tracking-song-generating-odometer-for-those-wit/), but the FDA has recently seen fit to clear parent company BioBehavioral Diagnostics to start marketing this thing, so look for these to crop up in every elementary school faster than a twitchy kid can say Ritalin.Quotient system electronically diagnoses ADHD, oh look a bunny (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/quotient-system-electronically-diagnoses-adhd-oh-look-a-bunny/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:14:00 EST.
