MOXO Diagnosis

Taking you beyond ADHD questionnaires, MOXO Diagnosis is the preferred decision support tool trusted by clinicians worldwide when it comes to diagnosing attentional difficulties. As the industry leading continuous performance task (CPT), we make diagnosing ADHD convenient, easy, and precise.

How We Support Clinicians

• Exceptional accuracy - The MOXO assessment has been rigorously tested by both clinicians and academics and boasts 91+% AUC, and 85%+ sensitivity and specificity. MOXO is the only assessment that both ensures validity and indicates attempts of malingering.
• Ease of use - Easily manage your patients and review their assessment results. Our modern, intuitive, cloud-based platform allows clinicians to send, run, observe and review assessments from anywhere. Our In-depth reports are easy to navigate, read, and explain in-app or using the print version.
• Intervention monitoring - MOXO is an ideal measure of intervention effectiveness with over 20% of clients using it for 
  intervention efficacy. MOXO has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, maintaining consistency with a one-hour administration gap.

MOXO Diagnosis Mesures

Attentiveness 

Attentiveness reflects the patient's ability to correctly evaluate and respond to a stimulus, according to instructions. Patients who experience difficulties in this area have problems paying attention to their environment, or to specific details when required to do so. To an onlooker, a person who appears not to be paying attention can seem somewhat unfocused and detached. However, such patients face intense difficulties in their daily life such as following teachers in class, understanding more complex instructions, keeping track of small changes in their surroundings, avoiding calculation errors and much more.

Timeliness 

Timeliness reflects the patient's ability to respond correctly within the time-frame allotted for a task. Whilst a person with timing issues may be able to evaluate their environment correctly, they may falter when asked to react in a timely manner to environmental changes. Examples of this are performing tasks requiring a quick and immediate response, as well as staying on schedule. Such tasks might include answering questions under time pressure (even when the material is familiar). Timing problems display similar characteristics to attention problems: A time gap is formed when attempting to perform a task to completion. Since it is difficult to keep track, a gap in the (study) material is formed. As the task continues, this gap increases until eventually; people faced with this type of difficulty lose a sense of continuity along with their ability to stay on top of the task.

Impulsiveness  

Impulsiveness is the tendency to respond at a point in time which is defined as 'forbidden'. A person with a tendency to be impulsive might act without considering the situation at hand or the possible outcomes of such behavior. Such conduct can take place even when a person fully understands the more problematic and undesirable outcomes of impulsive behavior. In many cases, impulsiveness might cause people to trigger monitoring processes only after their initial response. Typical features of impulsiveness include difficulty in waiting for a turn or engaging in dangerous behavior without considering the consequences.

Hyper-Reactivity  

Hyperactivity is difficulty in efficient regulation of motoric output and in refraining from unnecessary or undesirable actions (movement, over talking etc...). In other words, hyper-reactive behavior will be accompanied by excessive responses that are defined as incorrect and unwanted. Often people who exhibit hyperactivity are aware of the undesirable outcomes of their behavior and yet they still face the difficult challenge of abstaining from such actions.

Performance Graph  

The Performance graphs are meant as an overall picture of an individual's performance during all phases of the MOXO assessment, and the individual's performance is impacted by various loads of auditory, visual and combined distractors. This graph provides information about:

• Performance in the presence of visual, auditory and combined distractions as compared with no distractions at the beginning of the assessment.
• Sustained performance, comparing performance at the end as compared with the beginning of the task.
• Performance during many distractions as compared with few distracting stimuli.

In addition, for individuals between 6 and 26 years of age comparisons can be made between individual performance and that of a general population reference group of the same age and gender.

Distractor Impact  

• Sustained performance- reflects changes in the patient's performance over an extended period of time.
• Visual - reflects the effects of visual distractors or external stimuli on the patient's performance
• Auditory- reflects the effects of auditory distractors or external stimuli on the patient's performance
• Combined - reflects the effects of combined audio-visual distractors or external stimuli on the patient's performance
• Distraction load - reflects the effects of multiple distracting stimuli as compared with few distracting stimuli on the patient's performance.
