CAPE Technology

A patented platform that revolutionises compression garments.

A phone scan in, a custom garment out. Four technologies measure every millimetre of the limb, draft the pattern to the prescription, and track the order to delivery.

A measured leg, rendered from the scan with one ring per 10 mm

The leg is a real scan, rendered from the measured mesh. One ring is drawn per 10 mm for legibility; the pipeline measures every 1 mm.

The platform

Four technologies, one pipeline.

We have developed four key technologies so that the finest compression garments are available to you.

A complete order management system

DOMS carries every order from scan to delivery, with the photographs, cloud and mesh kept alongside it.

Cape Health for iOS

Anyone can order in clinic or at home.

Clinic home screen Garment selection screen Compression class picker

Sign in with Apple

A clinic is onboarded in minutes; practitioners are verified, not trained to measure.

Prescription-led ordering

Choose by condition or by garment. The app carries the clinical guidance: indications, contraindications, wearing protocols.

Compression class in mmHg

Mild, Moderate or Severe. The pressure regime is part of the order, so the pattern is drafted to the prescription.

Works offline

Orders queue on the device and upload when the clinic reconnects.

Guided capture

A 3D scan in less than one minute.

Capture screen with crotch and reference-card alignment guides

Alignment guides

Crotch and reference-object markers tell the practitioner exactly where to hold the phone.

Live tilt and bearing

Device angle is constrained in real time; the lap progress bar fills as the practitioner walks.

A person in frame, always

On-device detection confirms the subject is present and warns the moment they leave.

Haptic feedback

The phone vibrates and displays a warning the moment capture quality starts to degrade.

The prescription, drawn

Compression eases from 26 mmHg at the ankle to 19 mmHg at the top of the sleeve. Blue is the pattern width; the dark bar behind it is the leg.

Rings are drawn every 10 mm for legibility; the pipeline measures every 1 mm. Compression profile from the leg-sleeve pattern job on the same scan.

AutoTailor · Drafting

DOMS · Traceability

Quality, management and traceability.

Your custom order is managed through our bespoke system to ensure you get what you order, on time. Fully automated for absolute precision and speed, ready for hand-made quality.

Seven stages of status

From order received to closed, every order shows its stage, and what happens next.

Quality checked before drafting

Operations sign off the scan before a pattern is cut.

Partners see only their work

Manufacturers log in to their own assigned orders.

Serving you

A single archive of pattern data, garment types and configurations, pricing, user details, scans, orders, stock levels, email notification templates and schedules, and APIs for CRM and invoicing.

The platform

An integrated platform that delivers the best garments on and off the planet.

Key CAPE technologies

Four systems combine seamlessly to automatically produce the most accurate and effective compression garments.

Deployable, scalable and secure

Prescribe and encrypt on any iOS device; hosted on AWS medical servers.

Developed by CAPE for you

We designed, built and refined it to make you the finest garments, with any elastic material, to any compression regime. Protected by Australian, US and European patents.

Size matching capability

Analyse the compression regimes of existing standard garments as a two-step retail process.
