Implantable electrodes with remote power delivery for treatment of sleep apnea, and related systems and methods

Implantable electrodes with power delivery wearable parts for the treatment of sleep apnea, and related systems and methods are disclosed herein. A representative system includes a non-implantable signal generator worn by a patient, and has an antenna that directs a midfield RF signal to an implantable electrode. The implanted electrodes in turn direct a low frequency signal to a neural target, such as a hypoglossal nerve of a patient. A representative signal generator may have the form of an interface piece, a collar or other wearable piece, and/or a skin-mounted patch. 本文公开了用于治疗睡眠呼吸暂停的具有功率递送可穿戴件的可植入电极，以及相关的系统和方法。代表性的系统包括患者穿戴的不可植入的信号发生器，并具有将中场RF信号引导至可植入电极的天线。植入的电极又将低频信号引导至神经目标，例如患者的舌下神经。代表性的信号发生器可具有的形式可以是接口件，项圈或其他可穿戴件，和/或皮肤安装贴片。
