## Uses

### Direct Use

This model can be used directly for symptom classification in applications like:

- Symptom checkers for healthcare applications
- Medical chatbots for triage
- Data analysis in public health studies

### Downstream Use

The model may be fine-tuned further or integrated into larger healthcare solutions involving disease diagnosis or prediction.

### Out-of-Scope Use

- The model is not designed for diagnosing diseases.
- It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

- The model's performance is limited to the scope and quality of the training data. It may not perform well on symptoms outside its training domain.
- Potential biases in the training data can lead to inaccurate predictions for underrepresented diseases or symptoms.

### Recommendations

- Ensure proper pre-screening of the output by medical professionals before clinical application.
- Perform further fine-tuning or retraining if applied in domains outside the original dataset.
