History
Vayyar was founded in 2011 by Raviv Melamed, Miri Ratner and Naftali Chayat. CEO Raviv Melamed was previously VP of Architecture Group at Intel and General Manager of Intel's Worldwide Mobile Wireless Group. The company is based in Yehud. The company's name "Vayyar," is derived from the biblical term וירא in the book of Genesis (Chap1:4,6,10,12,18,21), meaning "(he) saw."
The company’s sensor technology was originally developed to screen for breast cancer, as a more accessible and effective alternative to mammograms.

Why this record matters
The phrase “israeli company” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65071572. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021 and 2011.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
