Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the most common contagious respiratory diseases, and one of its symptoms is shortness of breath. This symptom underscores the need for non-contact monitoring methods, which our paper addresses by proposing a strategy that uses Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to extract breathing waveforms and then classifies them with an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model. The model performs well on our dataset, using stratified k-fold cross-validation and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature extraction. This intelligent system can correctly identify deep and deep-quick breathing patterns with 98% and 87.5% recall scores, respectively. Integrating FMCW and XGBoost offers a promising solution for early detection and real-time monitoring of pneumonia
