# Nolla Health launches AI-written acne prescriptions in Utah pilot

*2026-10-05 · Source: [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1005075/nolla-health-acne-ai-prescriptions)*

Users in Utah can scan their face in Nolla Health's app and an AI system analyzes acne severity and autonomously writes a prescription. Two physicians approve each of the first 100 patients' prescriptions, then review only after issuance up to 500 patients, then sample at least 10%.

**Why it matters:** This is a concrete test of AI prescribing with deliberately shrinking human oversight. How regulators and clinicians react to the sampled-review model will shape whether autonomous medical decisions spread beyond low-risk conditions.

**Topics:** products, policy
