This startup is issuing AI-generated acne prescriptions

TL;DR

  • Nolla Health's AI system in Utah can now scan a user's face and issue prescriptions for acne treatment.
  • This pilot program involves gradually loosening physician oversight, starting with approval for the first 100 patients and then sampling 10% of prescriptions monthly.
  • Nolla Health claims to be the first company in the U.S. to issue initial AI-generated prescriptions, rather than renewals.
  • The service costs $4.99 per month and is for Utah residents aged 18+ with mild-to-moderate acne.
  • The AI can prescribe eight different skin treatments and will refer users to a physician if it cannot confidently select a treatment.
