Utah legislation has officially sanctioned the Nolla Health AI system, permitting users to scan their faces through an app to directly receive prescriptions.
Resident access to AI-acquired acne prescriptions has begun following a Monday announcement by healthcare startup Nolla Health. Users can scan their faces via the app, enabling the AI to assess acne severity and autonomously draft a prescription, as reported by Bloomberg.
The initiative operates as a pilot program with a gradual reduction in physician oversight. For the first 100 patients, two physicians will review and approve every AI-generated prescription. Oversight will then shift to reviewing prescriptions after they have been issued to up to 500 patients, followed by a monthly review of at least 10% of prescriptions and all cases involving escalations or side effects, Nolla Health notes.
Although other healthcare companies are testing AI-generated renewals in Utah, which began allowing AI medication renewals earlier this year, Nolla Health asserts it is the first to issue initial prescriptions. “The pilot is designed to complement, not replace, physicians,” the company writes. “By handling routine, low-acuity cases, Nolla Derm frees dermatologists to focus on complex, high-risk patients.”
The service costs $4.99 per month and is limited to Utah residents who are 18 years or older and suffer from mild-to-moderate acne. Nolla Health plans to direct users to a physician if the AI system cannot confidently select a treatment. Currently, the startup's AI can prescribe eight distinct skin treatments, according to Bloomberg.
