NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nolla Health, an AI-first healthcare platform focused on transforming the patient and provider experience, today announced that Dr. Zaid Fadul has joined its Medical Advisory Board.

Members of Nolla's Medical Advisory Board: Dr. Omar Badri, board-certified dermatologist, and Dr. Michael Mina, epidemiologist, MD, PhD, joined by Dr. Zaid Fadul, family medicine physician and the board's newest member. The board guides Nolla's clinical protocols, safety standards, and diagnostic accuracy as the company scales AI-driven specialty care.

NollaMD and Nolla Skin, side by side. On desktop, NollaMD handles primary and urgent care: patients describe symptoms, upload a photo, or connect with a clinician. On mobile, Nolla Skin scans a selfie and returns a Skin Score, Skin Age, and condition breakdown, feeding into a clinician-overseen treatment plan.

These physician leaders bring expertise spanning military medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine, nutrition, toxicology, preventative care, and healthcare innovation, ensuring Nolla Health's technology remains grounded in evidence-based medicine and real-world clinical practice.

"Artificial intelligence has the potential to become one of the most impactful advancements in modern healthcare, but technology alone is not enough," said Dr. Zaid Fadul, member of Nolla Health's Medical Advisory Board and CEO and Founder of Bespoke Concierge MD. "The future of healthcare requires thoughtful collaboration between clinicians, technologists, and innovators to ensure AI enhances patient care while maintaining safety, trust, and human connection."

Dr. Michael Policastro emphasized the need for rigorous clinical standards as AI becomes integrated into patient care, while Dr. Michael Ednie shared, "Our responsibility is to help ensure every clinical decision, recommendation, and patient interaction is grounded in sound medical judgment. AI should enhance healthcare, but physician oversight of the system is essential to maintaining quality, safety, and patient trust."

Nolla Health and Dr. Fadul will also launch an educational content initiative exploring the evolving role of artificial intelligence in medicine. The series will examine emerging applications of AI, responsible implementation, patient safety, ethics, and the future of physician-supported digital healthcare.

"Our vision extends far beyond building AI tools," said Luis Wenus, Co-Founder and CEO of Nolla Health. "We're building a healthcare platform where artificial intelligence and physician expertise work together to improve access, elevate the patient experience, and support better clinical outcomes. Expanding our Medical Advisory Board while strengthening our clinical leadership is an important step toward that mission."
