Our Team
Ronald Jonas
CEO
Before creating VIDA, I spent 25 years developing a cancer detection algorithm using thermal cameras. My dream was simple yet profound: to save even one life. However, the technology was too costly to implement—until I received a call from M., who shared her cancer diagnosis. In that moment, I knew what I had to do: I built VIDA for her. What started as an act of love has evolved into a mission to protect and empower women worldwide.
Holding a Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences from École Polytechnique, France, he specializes in neural networks and mathematical complexity. With over 30 years of experience, his expertise spans medical devices and image processing.
