Paul is an expert ontologist & innovator, specialising in healthcare. Having personally read and manually themed the comments of several hundred thousand patients, employees, and people with mental health challenges, gives Paul a unique expert lived experience perspective.

Akumen the company he founded has now digitally themed and analysed over twelve million patient comments for more than fifty healthcare organisations, including all of NHS Wales. Every day, Akumen processes 10,000 comments, equivalent to 150,000 words, uncovering valuable insights for improvement and innovation, giving patients a collective voice. We balance technology with human insight to deliver systems that support the increasing convergence of Human and Machine.

Paul’s holy grail is the study of meaning and wisdom, the catalyst for this pursuit, a near-death experience which happened in his early farming career. By mapping 40,000 wisdom quotes Paul will uncover the DNA of Wisdom which he hopes will steer Artificial Intelligence towards much needed wisdom.

Adding to Paul's extraordinary story is his background as a farmer. Although his farming days are behind him, he now keeps bees and grow trees on a 5-acre field near the cliffs of North Cornwall.

Outside of work, Paul can often be found hauling plastic waste from North Cornwall’s coves and beaches, sometimes using ropes and a yoke to carry waste for a mile and up five hundred feet. So far, he has collected over five tons of plastic waste and hopes to reach six tons by his 65th birthday.

Paul also enjoys playing guitar, writing songs and poems, cooking, kayaking, and walking in nature.

Speaking Topics

Psychological safety & closed cultures in healthcare.

The £5 billion bottleneck in healthcare: the challenge of mental health patients accessing services.

Better informed better decisions: Triangulation of the “lived experiences” of both patients and employees connecting the board to the ward and vice versa.

Learnings from a pilot project using Akumen’s technology to analyse complex coroner's reports on suicide, highlighting the learning for various agencies and identifying risk and protective factors.

I have a background in economics and social entrepreneurship. I began my career working with a grassroots organisation in Calcutta, India, where I surveyed climate migration patterns and assessed the electrification needs of urban slum settlements. Previously, I held roles at organisations such as the Carbon Tracker Initiative (a London-based climate think tank), Agami (a non-profit based in India supporting innovation in law and justice ), and Ashoka Innovators for the Public (global philanthropy supporting social entrepreneurs around the world), where I focused on addressing systemic inequality, promoting social innovation, and shaping climate policy in South Asia.

My interest in critical minerals began during my Master’s studies in Ecological Economics, where I explored the just transition aspects of the Green New Deal.

Jeremiah Landi started his career as a “GO’FER” in an architecture firm (98’) and made his way into an animatronics creator for shows like Phantom of the Opera (10’); little did he know that the skills he picked up along his journey would play very synergistically within a highly technical, rigid world and within the Government Bureaucracy, even putting him in front of the US Congress (08’).

Throughout his career, he has traveled the world working in a range of different project environments (Nobel Prize to ESPN) and cultural environments having worked through both the “America's” and all around Europe (with a little Asia).

He enjoys bringing dynamic thought processes and design first problem-solving to many different companies now through his own company deploying products (i.e.military helicopter fuel pumps, basketball medical devices) and Modified Agile Hardware Development (MAHD). The company he started back in 2016 now spans from physical manufacturing (i.e. stamping, welding, 3D printing) to algorithmic software development (i.e. traveling salesman); so it is easy to say the problems he solves aren’t easily fixed in a remote world.
