Medicine: An AI Capable of Prescribing Medications Developed in the USA

The American startup Legion Health has launched a health program in Utah allowing stable patients to renew their prescriptions via a chatbot for a monthly subscription of $19. This system is strictly regulated, prohibiting treatment adjustments and aiming to simplify access to care. However, doctors express concerns about the dehumanization of medicine, emphasizing the importance of patient follow-up. A previous attempt by the startup Doctronic showed similar issues, leading to the termination of their service.
