Multi-step, with approval

Why 3: it interviews patients, checks history and sends renewals, but in its current phase doctors review every renewal, so it does not yet approve on its own.

The findings

What it does. A Utah patient verifies their identity and answers a short AI interview about a maintenance medicine. Doctronic checks their prescription history, interactions and allergies, then sends the renewal to a pharmacy or refers the case to a doctor. About 190 drugs are eligible; controlled substances, injectables and short-course antibiotics are not. Under the state agreement, doctors review the first 250 renewals in each drug class before the AI may approve renewals on its own, with sampling after that.

Where it falls short. In June 2026 the pilot was still in its first phase, with doctors reviewing every renewal. Utah's medical licensing board asked the state to pause it, and a Stanford health law analysis noted little published evidence of performance before launch and terms of service that disclaim liability.
