Alex Tam

When we talk healthcare, we typically think white coats and stethoscopes. But, would you believe us if we told there's a whole other side to healthcare that's all polo shirts and sharpies? What if we told you there is a huge effort aimed at designing healthcare that's - wait for it - engaging and fun?

Well, you don't have to take it from us, you can hear it from an expert: Team Fluxible is excited to announce that Alex Tam (@AlexTam), a Principal Designer at healthcare startup Practice Fusion, will be on the speaker roster this year!

Alex has spent most of his career focused on healthcare, designing solutions for tens of millions of patients and healthcare providers.

After graduating from UW's System Design Engineering, he worked as an interaction designer at Quarry, and went on to work in hospital systems throughout Ontario and then all around the world with the renowned design firm, Frog. He's designed a management system for chronic patients going through clinical trials in Australia, and authored a chapter on gamification in healthcare.

Alex focuses much of his efforts on rapid ideation. Through winning a series of hack-at-thons, he's demonstrated how prototyping with multi-disciplinary teams can lead to compelling concepts with high impact. He loves to bring to life products that people enjoy using.

Team Fluxible is proud to showcase this great region at the conference, and it's extra special when we get to feature local speakers. We look forward to welcoming Alex home!

Stay tuned for further announcements about additional speakers and details of Alex’s session at Fluxible.
