You're tired of reading takes about Doctronic's #Utah AI prescription pilot. But did you know that the company hasn't spoken to the FDA about it?

Nine policy and legal experts STAT spoke to disputed Doctronic's reasoning.

This is the most important story you haven't read about the Utah AI program.

@STAT's Mario Aguilar has more about the law, the uncertainties, and the risks of the experiment:

STAT

AI could soon renew prescriptions without clinician help. Should the FDA make sure it's safe?

In a pilot, Utah is testing use of AI for renewing drug prescriptions. Experts ask if it should be regulated as a medical device.

@STAT @brittanytrang this does not surprise me at all, given the set of things that I got their main product to "refill" for me

@brittanytrang Oops, looks like I failed to link the post I meant to :)

It was standard messing-around-with-an-LLM type stuff:
