For Gimbal: ADHD Test & Focus · Last updated: September 12, 2026Gimbal's tests are self‑assessment and screening tools. They do not diagnose anything, are not a medical device, and do not replace an evaluation by a qualified professional. If the results concern you, take them to someone who can assess you properly.
1. Not a medical device
Gimbal is a general wellness and self‑knowledge app. It is not certified, cleared or registered as a medical device: it carries no CE marking under the EU Medical Device Regulation, it is not cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and it is not registered as a medical device with the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK) or any equivalent authority. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease or condition.
2. What the questionnaires are
Gimbal's self‑report questionnaires are screening instruments. Screening means sorting: a result can suggest that a fuller assessment is worth having, and nothing more. Screening instruments produce false positives (a concerning score in someone without ADHD) and false negatives (a reassuring score in someone with it). They cannot distinguish ADHD from the many other things that look like it on a questionnaire — chronic sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression, thyroid problems, substance use, trauma, or simply a life with too much in it.
This is why Gimbal also asks about impairment in daily life, whether the pattern started in childhood, and about sleep and stress: a proper assessment weighs all of that. An app can collect it; it cannot judge it.
3. What the performance tests can and cannot show
The eight performance tasks — Go/No‑Go, Stroop, visual search, N‑Back, task switching, time reproduction, digit span and continuous performance — measure aspects of attention, inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility as they are on the day you take them. They are research paradigms adapted to a phone, not clinical instruments, and their results are not normed against a diagnostic reference population.
A low score is not evidence of a disorder, and a high score does not rule one out. Many people with ADHD perform well on short cognitive tasks; many people without ADHD perform poorly on a bad day. The tests are most useful for comparing you against yourself over time, on the same device.
4. What changes a result
Any of these can move a score more than a real change in your attention would:
- Sleep, especially accumulated sleep debt
- Stress, mood, pain or illness
- Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and medication of any kind
- Time of day and where it falls in your own daily rhythm
- Noise, interruptions and the people around you
- Your device: screen refresh rate, touch latency, whether you use a case, whether the phone is in your hand or on a table
- Practice — scores tend to improve the first few times simply because you learn the task
5. Do not make medical decisions with this app
Do not start, stop, delay or change any treatment, medication or therapy because of something Gimbal showed you. Do not use it to decide that a professional evaluation is unnecessary. If you are already in treatment, share the app's output with your clinician rather than acting on it yourself — it may be useful context, but it is not a measurement they can rely on.
6. Not for assessing other people
Gimbal is for your own self‑assessment. It must not be used to screen, assess, monitor or make decisions about other people — including employees, job applicants, students, children or patients — and it must not be used as evidence in employment, educational, insurance, custody or legal proceedings. Its results have no standing in any of those contexts.
7. No professional relationship
Using Gimbal does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client or any other professional relationship between you and muzo.dev. We are software developers, not clinicians. Nothing in the app, on these pages or in our support replies is medical advice.
8. Emergencies
Gimbal is not an emergency service and nobody reads what you write in it — your notes never leave your device. If you are in danger, in crisis, or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country immediately. In Türkiye, emergency: 112.
9. If the results concern you
Take them to a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist or your family doctor, depending on what is available where you live. A real assessment usually involves a structured clinical interview, your developmental history, information from someone who knows you well, and ruling out the other explanations listed in section 2. Bringing your Gimbal history along can help that conversation start faster — but the assessment is theirs to make, not the app's.
