Rural health care; Alabama Health Command established to designate an AI-assisted health platform in rural communities

Summary

The bill establishes an independent Alabama Health Command agency that will pick a local company to build a virtual, AI‑driven health platform using avatar‑based encounters. The platform will let rural residents access wellness education, appointment scheduling, referrals and other health‑management services, but it cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions. Rural hospitals, clinics and other providers that use the platform are exempted from standard competitive‑bid procurement rules.
