We have developed an industry cluster with a focus on "psychotechnology" - (PsychTech cluster). Through cooperation of companies in the region of Saxony-Anhalt (in cooperation with Thuringia), supervised and coordinated by the network INNOMED e.V., psychotechnologies are developed and offered on the market. This enables the development of a completely new business field, where no expensive "high-tech" device development is necessary, but existing technology (internet, media and digital offers, small devices) is researched, tested and marketed for the new market of mental health. We follow the principle "low tech - high concept".
These new psychotech technologies not only help employees of our local clinics, but also the population and economy of Central Germany. In the Psychotech cluster, digital offerings for health promotion are screened, tested (both technically and clinically), and implemented. Technology-oriented companies in medical and health technology will find suitable business fields here. In Saxony-Anhalt, there is already a critical mass of relevant companies, such as Celloon GmbH, Hasomed GmbH, neotiv GmbH, silver seed UG, SAVIR GmbH, or Pixelmad Studios UG. In addition, several research institutions are doing research in this field such as the Leibnitz Institute of Neurbiology, DZNE, OVGU, and Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences. The PsychTech cluster has a unique selling point in Germany - and Europe-wide - and benefits from a critical mass of existing research institutions that research and teaching on the topic of "mental health" in Saxony-Anhalt. In addition, a consortium of universities in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia has applied for a German Center for Mental Health (DZPG), which could be a focal point for academic research and technology transfer so new solutions reach the general population.
Synergies between existing companies are created via the Psychotech cluster and developed through new R&D projects. In particular, technology and service-based (service) business models are developed and implemented here. The very well-positioned location of Magdeburg and the Middle States of Germany with their neuroscientific, psychological and psychotherapeutic institutions and their networks in the international professional scene offers an excellent basis for technology innovation to enhance mental health of our citizens.
