1. An implantable RFID-enabled micro-electronic neurostimulator system for treating obstructive sleep apnea, comprising:

  • an implant having a top and a bottom layer, the bottom layer serving as an attachment mechanism such that the bottom layer of the implant encompasses the HGN and attaches to the top layer of the implant;

    a printed circuit board (PCB) attached to the top layer of the implant, the PCB having a first and a second opposing sides;

    a neural interface attached to the second side of the PCB;

    a core subsystem (CSS) attached to the first side of the PCB and electrically connected to the neural interface;

    a radio frequency (RF) interface attached to the first side of the PCB and electrically connected to the CSS; and

    an external programmable controller configured to power and control the implant.
