Alabama HB280 establishes the Alabama Health Command to designate a virtual AI-assisted health platform for rural communities.

Alabama HB280 creates the Alabama Health Command, an independent agency, to designate a virtual AI-assisted health platform for rural communities. The platform, developed by a designated business entity, will offer health management services, including wellness education and follow-up assistance, through an avatar-based virtual encounter system. The Command will establish standards to protect patient privacy and ensure the platform does not provide health care services. The bill also exempts rural health care providers using the platform from competitive bid laws.
