Summary: | The present technology is generally directed to wearable devices for treating sleep apnea, and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, a system for treating sleep apnea comprises an implantable device and a wearable device. The implantable device can be implantably positionable at a patient's head and/or neck, proximate to the patient's oral cavity, and include a signal generator configured to generate an electrical signal, an electrode coupled to the signal generator to direct the electrical signal to the patient's tissue, and a power receiver device coupled to the signal generator. The wearable device can include a power source and a power transmission device coupled to the power source and configured to transmit power wirelessly to the implantable device. |
