导读
美国医疗创业公司 Nolla Health 宣布，犹他州用户可通过其应用扫描面部，由其 AI 系统分析痤疮严重程度并自主开具处方。该服务以试点方式运行，前 100 名患者的每份 AI 处方须由两名医生在开具前审批，扩至最多 500 名患者时改为处方开具后再复核，此后医生仅抽查至少 10% 的处方。
推荐理由
服务以试点形式推进，医生审核从逐单审批逐步放宽到仅抽查一成，呈现 AI 处方落地的监管过渡安排。

People in Utah can now use AI to get a prescription for acne treatment. On Monday, healthcare startup Nolla Health announced that users in the state can scan their faces using its app, allowing its AI system to analyze acne severity and autonomously write a prescription, as reported earlier by Bloomberg .
The service is launching as a pilot program with gradually loosening physician oversight. Two physicians will approve each AI-generated prescription before they’re issued for the first 100 patients, but will start reviewing them only after they’re prescribed for up to 500 patients. “After that, physicians review a sample of at least 10% of prescriptions every month, plus every case involving an escalation or side effect,” Nolla Health says .
Several other healthcare companies are experimenting with AI-generated prescriptions in Utah, which started allowing AI systems to renew certain medications earlier this year. But Nolla Health says it’s the first in the country to issue initial prescriptions, rather than renewals. “The pilot is designed to complement, not replace, physicians,” Nolla Health writes in its press release. “By handling routine, low-acuity cases, Nolla Derm frees dermatologists to focus on complex, high-risk patients.”
The program will cost $4.99 / month, and only applies to Utah residents who are 18 years of age or older and have mild-to-moderate acne. Nolla Health says it will direct users to a physician if its AI system cannot “confidently select a treatment.” The startup’s AI can currently prescribe eight different skin treatments, according to Bloomberg .
