+
+The model predicts one of three risk categories:
+
+```text
+Risk Level: High / Medium / Low
+Probability: <VALUE>
+```
+
+Model predictions should **not** be interpreted as a medical diagnosis.
+
+## 🔬 Methodology

+
+## 🛠️ Tech Stack
+
+**Python • Pandas • NumPy • Scikit-learn • Imbalanced-learn • Matplotlib • Seaborn • Streamlit**
+
+## ⚠️ Limitations
+
+Model performance depends on the quality, representativeness, and distribution of the training data.
+
+Healthcare-related datasets may contain sampling bias, class imbalance, missing information, and demographic differences that can affect model generalization.
+
+This model has **not been clinically validated** and should not be used as a standalone medical decision system.
+
+## 🔮 Future Improvements
+
+* Explainable AI with SHAP
+* Larger and more diverse datasets
+* Probability calibration
+* Fairness and bias evaluation
+* External validation
+* Model monitoring
+* Advanced ensemble methods
+* Clinical validation
