US approves AI doctor to treat independently

A startup in the healthcare field powered by artificial intelligence was launched in Utah, introducing the first system to prescribe medications for acne treatment without direct human oversight. This initiative is part of an experiment focusing on topical medications, including eight different types. The application, "Nola Health," uses AI to analyze patients' skin and assess the severity of their acne, then recommends medications that are periodically reviewed by physicians, reducing risks associated with low-risk side effects such as skin irritation and dryness. The goal of this initiative is to expand the use of AI in routine care and is supported by relaxed legislation that allows for testing AI products, with expectations of future expansion into other areas of treatment.
