An adherent device is configured to adhere to the skin of the patient with an adherent patch, for example breathable tape, coupled to at least four electrodes. The device comprises impedance circuitry coupled to the at least four electrodes and configured to measure respiration of the patient to detect sleep apnea and/or hypopnea. The impedance circuitry may be used to measure hydration of the patient. An accelerometer can be mechanically coupled to the adherent patch such that the accelerometer can be coupled to and move with the skin of the patient. Electrocardiogram circuitry to generate an electrocardiogram signal may be coupled to at least two of the at least four electrodes to detect the sleep apnea and/or hypopnea.

1. An adherent device to monitor an apnea and/or hypopnea of a patient for an extended period, the device comprising: a breathable tape comprising a porous material with an adhesive coating to adhere the breathable tape to a skin of the patient;at least one electrode affixed to the breathable tape and capable of electrically coupling to a skin of the patient;at least one gel disposed over a contact surface of the at least one electrode to electrically connect the electrode to the skin;a printed circuit board supported with the breathable tape when the tape is adhered to the patient, the circuit board connected to the at one electrode with a flexible intermediate connector to provide strain relief between the printed circuit board and the at least one electrode;electronic components electrically connected to the printed circuit board and the at least one electrode to measure breathing of the patient and determine the apnea and/or hypopnea of the patient;an electronics housing adhered to at least one of the electronics components or the printed circuit board; anda breathable cover disposed over the circuit board and the electronic components such that the electronics housing is disposed between the cover and electronics components, the breathable cover connected to at least one of the electronics components, the printed circuit board or the breathable tape. 2. The adherent device of claim 1 wherein the breathable cover comprises a water resistant cover. 3. The adherent device of claim 2 wherein the water resistant cover comprises a dip coating disposed over the at least one of the electronics components or the printed circuit board. 4. The adherent device of claim 1 wherein the electronic components comprise a processor and wireless transmission circuitry, the processor comprising a tangible medium configured to determine an apnea hypopnea index from the breathing of the patient and wherein the wireless transmission circuitry is configured to transmit the apnea hypopnea index from the, processor to a remote center. 5. The adherent device of claim 1 wherein the breathable tape, the at least one electrode, the at least one gel and the breathable cover are configured to couple the at least one electrode to the skin to measure breathing of the patient for at least one week and the extended period comprises at least one week. 6. The adherent device of claim 5 wherein the breathable tape comprises a stretchable breathable material with an adhesive and the breathable cover comprises a stretchable material connected to the breathable tape, and wherein the printed circuit board is slidably coupled with the breathable tape and the breathable cover such that the breathable tape and breathable cover are configured to stretch with the skin of the patient when the breathable tape is adhered to the skin of the patient. 7. The adherent device of claim 6 wherein the electronics components are affixed to the printed circuit board and wherein the electronics components and the printed circuit board are disposed between the stretchable breathable material with the adhesive and the stretchable material. 8. The adherent device of claim 7 wherein the printed circuit board is separated from the breathable tape with an air gap to allow the skin to release moisture and receive oxygen through the breathable tape and breathable cover. 9. The adherent device of claim 1 wherein the electronics housing is configured to keep water away from the at least one of the printed circuit board or the electronic components. 10. The adherent device of claim 1 wherein the electronics housing comprises at least one of a cover or a sealant configured to protect the at least one of the printed circuit board or the electronic components from water. 11. The adherent device of claim 1 the electronics housing comprises a water resistant coating disposed over the at least one the electronic components or the printed circuit board so as to seal the at least one of electronic components or the printed circuitry board and inhibit water penetration. 12. The adherent device of claim 1 further comprising a gel cover positioned over the breathable tape. 13. The adherent device of claim 12 wherein the gel cover comprises a material to inhibit moisture penetration from outside the device into the at least one gel. 14. The adherent device of claim 12 wherein the gel cover comprises a breathable water resistant cover to inhibit moisture penetration from outside the device into the at least one gel. 15.
