A simple explanation of model cards for clinicians who need to judge applicability, bias, and deployment risk.

Definition
A model card is a short document that explains what a model is for, how it was trained, where it performs well, and where it may fail.
Why doctors should care
Before using a model in research, care delivery, or a startup workflow, you should know its intended use, training data limitations, and bias risks.
Clinical analogy
It is similar to reading the prescribing information before using a drug. You want indications, cautions, and known limitations, not just enthusiasm.
Rule for GreyBrain learners
Never evaluate a model only by demos. Read the model card first.
