Our Team
Benedikt von Thüngen
I’m the CEO and Founder of Sanome, thanks for stopping by.
My academic background is in biosciences, however, my passion is building and scaling companies. I started my entrepreneurial journey during my undergraduate degree and have since built multiple companies across renewable energy, enterprise software, AI, drug discovery, and healthcare.
My long-term vision is to build a human digital twin (read more here) that allows us to predict any changes to someone’s health before they actually occur. Early detection of disease will truly transform healthcare and that’s why I started Sanome.
Paul Aykroyd
As co-founder and COO at Sanome, my priority is to support the business as it grows into a robust, well-balanced team, while simultaneously establishing a strong culture centred on trust, empowerment, transparency and continuous improvement.
I believe it’s key to place user and employee satisfaction at the centre of all business decisions.
My vision for Sanome is to use my decades of experience as a leader in the tech World - for good.
We have achieved unthinkable milestones at Sanome this year and I am looking forward to continuing this incredible growth and deliver products that make a difference to the world.
Dr Andrew Creagh - BA, BAI, MAI, MA (Oxon.), D.Phil (Oxon.)
I am the lead AI/ML Scientist at Sanome. I am also concurrently a visiting researcher in Digital Health & AI/ML at the Computational Health Informatics (CHI) laboratory at the University of Oxford.
I'm leading the development of our multimodal AI-powered early warning systems (EWS) for early detection of clinical events.
I'm super excited to be working with Sanome and our clinical partners to help shift the needle towards truly personalised and preventative healthcare.
Eddie Pease - BA, MA (Oxon), MSc
I’m the Engineering Lead at Sanome.
I am responsible for the engineering function at Sanome. I work with our hospital partners to help them clean and rationalise their data, deploy our co-designed clinical tools that the data scientists develop and ensure that our infrastructure is robust and secure.
I think that the technology that we are developing here at Sanome is urgently needed, in the UK and worldwide, to enable a shift to a more preventative healthcare system at time when healthcare systems globally are struggling with increased demand.

Clinical Product Lead
Anastassia Rowe
I'm part of the commercial team at Sanome. I work directly with Benedikt to ensure that the solutions we're developing have a real economic impact for healthcare systems. I also help bridge the gap between patients, clinicians and innovators, ensuring that our co-designed healthcare tools align with the diversity of needs and improve care quality for all.
I'm really excited about working at Sanome as it allows me to help develop technologies that not only have the potential to save lives but also significantly enhance the efficiency of the NHS.
Tom Pease - BA, MA (Oxon), MA
I am part of the Data Science team at Sanome.
I’m working on Early Warning Systems; modelling patient data to pick up clinical events before clinicians can.
It’s a privilege to be in a role that allows me feel like I’m working on something that will improve people's lives. Added to that, Sanome is a great place to work - everyone gets on really well and it’s exciting to be working at the cutting edge of Clinical AI.
Richard Silk - BA, MA (Cantab)
I’m part of the Engineering team at Sanome. I joined Sanome having previously worked alongside Benedikt and Paul at Speechmatics.
I work with Big Data, standardising records from disparate hospital IT systems, identifying useful features. Robustness and data security are my top priorities.
Working at Sanome is incredibly rewarding. Through smart application of technology, we have the potential to save lives and dramatically improve the efficiency of the NHS.
