The fashion industry is looking ahead and transforming itself through technology. On Wednesday, March 4th at the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival, our panel will be discussing how technology is challenging our paradigm on what constitutes fashion, what making it personal really means for customers and the platforms that are shaping the future for the industry. CAPE Bionics Co Founder James Turner joined other leading specialists in the field on a panel discussion role of technology in revolutionising the fashion industry.

The Australia and New Zealand Sports Technology Awards (ANZSTA) recognises and celebrates excellence in data, digital and technology across the Sports, Media, Entertainment, Health and Technology landscapes. It was a great achievement for CAPE Bionics to have won the Sports Performance & Coaching Award for 2019!

It also provides guidelines on how elite athletes should choose their compression garments. To download the white paper in full, click here.

CAPE produces a special sleeve, individually-sized from 3D athlete scans, to impose a unique and optimum pressure for either performance, recovery, or travel benefit. Proprietary compression regimes and wearing protocols have been developed in conjunction with leading sports scientists, and the compression accuracy and physiological benefit proven through independent testing. CAPE is accredited as a Class I Medical Device and is contracted alongside off-the-shelf compression sports apparel. There are three types of compression regime that CAPE engineers for elite sport: Travel Heart rate is normal, movement is limited. Low to moderate graduated compression is comfortable, invokes vasodilation, reduces swelling/oedema. For
