Product overview

TECSAM Network (Xarxa TECSAM) is a Catalan R+D+i research network focused on mental health innovation, research, and technology transfer. The organization acts as a network connecting 63 research groups from Catalan institutions, accelerating the valorization and transfer of research results in mental health and technology. The portfolio consists of science-based solutions spanning clinical projects (therapies, diagnostics, interventions), technological projects (AI and data science, neuroimaging, neuromodulation), and digital health applications (apps, VR, remote interventions). The network provides a Solutions Portfolio featuring approximately 50+ distinct projects including mental health apps (MY MENTAL HEALTH/LMSM), AI solutions (conversational models, behavior recognition), neuroimaging tools (SignalEEG, neuroimaging analysis), neuromodulation (TMS, tDCS), virtual reality applications (VR and job placement, AN-VR), digital therapeutics (REMI reminiscence therapy, SmartAgeing), and research infrastructure (cohort databases, protocols, biomarker analysis). The ecosystem is coordinated by Fundació Sant Joan de Déu (FSJD) and Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu (PSSJD), with activities including networking events, co-creation workshops, Technology Exploration Day, and the annual Mental Health Innovation Day.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Capital Cell: Health and biotech crowdfunding/investment platform already partnered with TECSAM; both connect mental health research projects with capital, though Capital Cell is a transactional marketplace rather than a research coordinator.
• Ship2B Foundation: Spanish impact accelerator already partnered with TECSAM; both support the valorization of health and social innovation projects, with overlap on investor-readiness support for member projects.

Broad incumbents

• EIT Health: Europe-wide health innovation network coordinating research, startups, and industry partners; TECSAM operates a regional version of this model but with a narrower mental health focus and Catalonia-only geography.
• Innovate UK Mental Health Innovate UK programmes: UK national funding and innovation programs that coordinate mental health research translation; TECSAM performs a comparable coordinating role but at a smaller regional scale and through a single network structure.

Direct peers

• Mental Health Innovation Network (UK): Cross-sectoral collaboration network accelerating mental health innovation; TECSAM performs a similar coordination and technology-transfer role, though regionally scoped to Catalonia.
• Biocat: Catalonia's bio-region coordination body that TECSAM already partners with; both function as regional innovation brokers connecting research, industry, and capital in the life sciences, though Biocat's scope is broader than mental health.

Regional players

• Catalonia Mental Health Cluster (Cluster Salut Mental): Catalan industry cluster aggregating mental health stakeholders; operates in the same regional mental health ecosystem as TECSAM but with an industry/market orientation rather than academic coordination.

Emerging players

• Eurecat Technology Center: Catalan technology center with digital health and AI capabilities that overlap with TECSAM's portfolio areas (AI, VR, neuroimaging); both serve as innovation intermediaries but Eurecat operates as a single applied-research center rather than a coordinator network.
