Claim 25:
26. A method for treating sleep-disordered breathing in a patient, comprising:
providing the patient with a wearable device shaped to conform to at least a portion of a patient's anatomy, the wearable device carrying:
a rechargeable power storage device;
at least one wireless power transmission device coupled to the power storage device;
at least one sensor configured to detect at least one of a heart rate or a respiratory rate of the patient; and
first circuitry coupled to the power storage device,

programming the wearable device to:
determine at least one of (1) a sleep state of the patient or (2) a patient airflow event, based at least partially on input from the at least one sensor, and
cause the at least one wireless power transmission device to transmit power based at least partially on at least one of the determined sleep state or the patient airflow event; and

programming a pulse generator of a percutaneously implantable device to—
receive power via a receiver device carried by the percutaneously implantable device, the percutaneously implantable device having a charge storage capacity of no more than 5 minutes; and
deliver, via at least one electrode of the percutaneously implantable device positioned to be in electrical communication with a medial branch of a hypoglossal nerve of the patient, an electrical signal, at least a portion of the electrical signal having a frequency in a frequency range of up to 100 kHz, to treat the sleep disordered breathing.
