News Summary

• Legion Health has launched a pilot program that will see its AI chatbot, provided by health technology company Doctronic, prescribe prescription medication.
• The chatbot will only prescribe medications that are considered lower risk, for example SSRIs like sertraline (Zoloft) for depression rather than habit-forming drugs like benzodiazepines or some ADHD drugs like Adderall.
• Consumers will be expected to answer 15 questions, covering topics such as their mood, general health, and any side effects from their current medication before receiving their prescription.
• The service will cost users roughly $20.
