Nolla Health launches AI-written acne prescriptions in Utah pilot

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.
