The Vision

Peacocks Medical Group is building PEPS Ultra to fundamentally transform how custom orthotic devices move from clinical assessment to manufacturing. Today, a clinician’s expertise is trapped in handwritten notes, verbal instructions, and manual interpretation — a process that introduces delay, error, and dependency on highly specialised CAD technicians.

PEPS Ultra eliminates this paper-to-production gap entirely. By combining iPad-based 3D scanning, AI-powered voice interaction, and parametric CAD generation, it creates a seamless digital thread from the clinic chair to the factory floor.

“This is not just a software project. It is a fundamental change to how clinical expertise reaches the factory floor.”

Paper & Manual Process

Handwritten notes, verbal instructions, faxed prescriptions

iPad 3D Scan

Structure Sensor captures patient anatomy in seconds

Step 1

Voice Command

Clinician speaks design intent, AI translates to parameters

Step 2

Manufacturing Output

STL/STEP files ready for CNC, 3D printing, thermoforming

Output

The Translation Gap

Practice Management (EHR)

e.g. OPIE, Cliniko

Billing & insurance claims
Scheduling & appointments
Clinical documentation
Patient record management

Fatal Gap

Zero 3D capability. Cannot translate clinical intent into manufacturing specifications.

Industrial CAD

e.g. Autodesk, Materialise

Powerful 3D modelling & design
Mesh manipulation & analysis
Manufacturing-ready export (STL/STEP)
Industrial simulation tools

Fatal Gap

Zero clinical context. Requires highly trained CAD technicians to interpret prescriptions.

Slow &
Error-Prone

No one owns the complete clinical-to-manufacturing workflow for custom orthotics. This is our white space.

Three Pillars. One Partner.

We bring direct experience across the three pillars this project demands.

3D Scanning & LiDAR Hardware

In-house R&D experience with depth sensors and spatial capture. We understand the scanning pipeline, accuracy considerations, and hardware integration — most development partners would need to outsource this.

Multi-Tenant SaaS Platforms

We build cloud-native, multi-tenant systems as our core business. Patient management, order tracking, role-based access, and clinic portals are well within our delivery experience.

AI Agent Development

We build agentic AI systems that use tool-calling, natural language understanding, and multi-provider architectures. Directly applicable to the voice-driven design engine at the heart of PEPS Ultra.

Avoids months of custom ML training

AI / Voice Processing

Leading commercial AI APIs with multi-provider failover. No custom ML model training required — leverages frontier models directly.

Improves automatically with model updates

CAD Engine

Open-source parametric CAD kernel (OpenCascade.js) compiled to WebAssembly. Manufacturing-grade B-Rep geometry in the browser.

Manufacturing-grade geometry without licensing fees

Cloud Infrastructure

Managed cloud services on GCP Cloud Run. Serverless containers that auto-scale to demand and operate on a pay-per-use model.

Zero infrastructure management overhead

Mobile Distribution

Vue.js 3 + Capacitor for cross-platform delivery. A single codebase serves the iPad native app and browser-based users simultaneously.

One development team, two delivery platforms

Eight Capabilities. One Platform.

3D Scanning Pipeline
