This startup is issuing AI-generated acne prescriptions
Nolla Health's Utah pilot lets its app scan faces and autonomously prescribe acne treatments.
Healthcare startup Nolla Health is piloting an app in Utah that scans users' faces, grades acne severity, and autonomously issues prescriptions. Two physicians approve each prescription for the first 100 patients, review them after issuance for up to 500, then audit at least 10% monthly plus escalations and side effects. The $4.99 monthly service is limited to Utah residents 18 or older with mild-to-moderate acne and can prescribe eight treatments. Nolla says it is the first US service to issue initial AI prescriptions rather than renewals, and it refers uncertain cases to a physician.

The service is launching as a pilot program with gradually loosening physician oversight.
