Artificial intelligence begins prescribing medications in Utah
In Utah, USA, a pilot program has been launched allowing artificial intelligence to issue medical prescriptions without the involvement of a human doctor. This groundbreaking initiative tests the extent to which patients and regulators are willing to trust AI technology in healthcare.
The project, developed by the company Doctronic, enables artificial intelligence to analyze patients’ medical histories, ask clarifying questions, and independently prescribe medication for chronic conditions. This approach could increase healthcare efficiency but also raises questions about the changing role of doctors and patient safety.
The pilot program's outcomes will be closely monitored, and if successful, AI usage in medicine could expand significantly, potentially transforming healthcare delivery and regulation standards.
