| ## Uses |
|
|
| ### Direct Use |
| - This model can be directly used by healthcare professionals to analyze patient speech samples for signs of hypernasality, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. |
|
|
| ### Downstream Use |
| - Potential use in automated speech therapy tools or in research settings for studying speech disorders. |
|
|
| ### Out-of-Scope Use |
| - Not intended for non-medical use or as a sole diagnostic tool without clinical oversight. |
|
|
| ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
| - The model might have limitations in accurately identifying hypernasality across diverse accents and languages. User discretion is advised, and results should be considered alongside clinical assessments. |
|
|
| ## Recommendations |
| - Healthcare professionals should use this tool as a supplement to traditional diagnostic methods. Continuous updating with diverse datasets is recommended to improve accuracy. |
