Zeeshan Hayat is a conscious entrepreneur and the CEO / Co-founder of Kudos Tech, a digital health technology and patient engagement company that services pharmacies, physicians, medical laboratories and providers in healthcare across North America.
Zeeshan’s drive and vision stem from his belief that healthcare is a right and that it should be accessible to every member of society regardless of their economic or social standing.
What started as a college venture to help people gain access to wellness products online, became a vehicle to establish a compliant-focused healthcare technology company. Over the years, Zeeshan has implemented technology to manage/protect consumer data and develop insights into helping patients with their chronic care management.
In 2018, Zeeshan launched RxtoMe, a Safe.Pharmacy patient-centric platform that helps people with chronic conditions assess their eligibility for savings and delivery on their medical necessities and medical services under their existing insurance carriers in real-time.
Zeeshan created a healthcare ecosystem for patients to manage their chronic conditions with ease and convenience while providing insights to make informed health decisions.
Zeeshan is a strong believer in giving back, not just through philanthropy but through personally connecting with those in his community who are most in need. He co-established 100 Meals a Week to personally deliver over 250,000 meals and necessities to the identified homeless community in DTES since 2007. In July 2019, he joined hands with multiple NGO’s to co-establish The Muslim Care Centre (MCC) and has worked alongside volunteers to help deliver over 600,000 meals in the DTES, in less than 10 months.
In 2021 Zeeshan spearheaded the Pixel Moments campaign, a micro-philanthropy activation focusing on mental health awareness.
He is a member of St Paul’s Future Leader Committee to support Mental Health and Addiction programs; and is a mentor for MBA students in SFU Beedie’s MiB program and Junior Achievement’s Be Entrepreneurial program.
