1. A system to monitor a sleep apnea and/or hypopnea of a patient, the system comprising:

  • an adhesive patch to adhere to a skin of the patient;

    at least four electrodes connected to the adhesive patch and capable of electrically coupling to the patient;

    impedance circuitry coupled to the at least four electrodes to measure an impedance signal of the patient; and

    a processor system comprising a tangible medium configured to determine a respiration rate and detect the apnea and/or hypopnea in response to the impedance signal, and to provide information about the apnea and/or hypopnea to an algorithm configured to predict decompensation.
