Utah Approves Autonomous AI Pilots for Healthcare Services

Utah's Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy approved several new pilots for autonomous artificial intelligence in healthcare. These pilots include testing a dermatology app from Nolla Health to prescribe and refill topical medications for mild-to-moderate acne. Other approved pilots involve AI systems from Doctronic and August AI for medication renewal and chronic condition management, and Expect Fitness for virtual pelvic floor therapy.

The approvals allow AI to manage aspects of patient care, such as prescribing and renewing medications, potentially reducing the immediate need for clinician oversight. These experiments occur despite pushback from doctors and other stakeholders.
