A citizen of three countries and raised in Africa, Europe and the South Pacific, now settled in Canada, he is passionate about building technology to improve access to quality care for all – from the most remote villages in the Great North to the densest urban jungles and mega-hospitals.

He has spent over twenty years helping implement large-scale eHealth programs with governments and healthcare organisations, including pioneering one of the world’s first large-scale enterprise telehealth solutions. He felt a strong sense of duty and privilege when Akinox was called upon to help Quebec with the COVID-19 pandemic response since March 2020, including outbreak management, automated case management and contact tracing, testing, and vaccination. The Akinox platform has now served over 7 million VCI SMART Health Card proofs of vaccination and seeks to intelligently address global challenges related to COVID-19 credentials.

William started in the Quebec healthcare system as a project manager, system pilot and orientation of the provincial covid-19 screening platform. this system was deployed throughout the province in record time, allowing for appointments to be made and covid results to be sent to all Quebecers.
Since then, he has accumulated his interventions in the technological assets of the Ministry of Health and now holds the position of principal orientation pilot of the Government appointment HUB.
The orchestrator project has been a resounding success, allowing the decompartmentalization of primary medical care in Quebec. This system is connected to all electronic medical records of clinics subsidized by the state.
In addition to his position related to the orchestrator, Mr. Patry also assumes the same responsibilities within the Primary care access point (GAP).
The Primary care access point (GAP) allows people without a family doctor to obtain a medical appointment or health service.
