Pierre-Paul Yale

Pierre-Paul Yale (born March 10, 1948) is a psychiatrist and vice-president of the Association des médecins psychiatres du Québec.

[1] Pierre-Paul Yale began his career as research assistant to the Iron Ore Company of Canada, and thereafter, taught at Sherbrooke University in the psychiatry department.

He became the Canadian Deleguate of the American Psychiatric Association in 1980, then member of the committee of the research centre of Louis-H Lafontaine Hospital in 1982.

The contract was later the subject of an enquiry by Senator Thérèse Lavoie-Roux, at the time Minister of Health and Social Services under Premier Robert Bourassa.

[20] The investigating commissioner found no irregularities on Yale's part and was fully exonerated, as his software was an innovation and caused misunderstandings by journalists.

[21] Yale refused the vice-presidency of Systèmes et Développement Purkinje Inc, which were, at the time, expanding their medical software offerings to international markets.

[21] In 2004, Dr. Pierre-Paul Yale represented the Association des médecins psychiatres du Québec on the Experts Committee of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, to be presented to the Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard.

[29][30] He is board director of Diagnos, an AI medical software company using big data, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
