Nolla Health starts issuing initial acne prescriptions on its own in Utah — the first such pilot in the US
Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Publication time restored from the build log. . Updated: .
SI has for the first time been officially allowed to prescribe treatment on its own at a first visit: good advice may become cheap and available without waiting in line for a doctor.
According to the company, from October 5 Utah residents aged 18 and over can fill out a questionnaire and a face scan in the Nolla Derm app, after which SI will select and prescribe treatment for mild to moderate acne itself — only from a pre-approved list of topical drugs, with no hormonal or oral medications. According to the company, doctors first approve every prescription (the first 100 patients), then review prescriptions after the fact, and later only on a sample basis; the service costs about $5 a month. The pilot runs in Utah's "sandbox," where state authorities temporarily waive some requirements to allow testing of SI products.
