8th grade
CHAPTER 01
The science fair
A light-pollution project introduced Ava to independent research. Curiosity came before the company.
OUR STORY / AVA HAUCK
It started with a science fair.
The story of how curiosity, self-directed learning, and a small-town perspective became Clinivue.
SCROLL TO EXPLORE
FOUNDER & CEO
Ava Hauck
Ava began independent science research in eighth grade. By 15, the question had shifted toward medical diagnostics. At 16, the research began becoming a company.
“I didn’t need to know whether I could pull it off. I needed to know whether I cared enough to try.”
Age 15
CHAPTER 02
The question changes
A family experience with leukemia shifted her attention toward diagnostic medicine and the gaps surrounding access.
Age 16
CHAPTER 03
Research becomes Clinivue
Self-directed work in coding, computer vision, microscopy, optics, and engineering began taking the shape of a company.

CHAPTER 04
Build. Test. Repeat.
Prototype systems, software experiments, research presentations, patent work, and laboratory validation continued in parallel.
BUILDING Clinivue
From code and notebook drawings to optics, hardware, research, and validation.
Not a résumé. A documentary record of the work itself.
01 / SOFTWARE
Research became code.
Microscopy images, processing tools, datasets, and software iterations developed side by side.
02 / ENGINEERING
Code needed hardware.
Displays, motors, imaging components, controllers, and computing were assembled into working systems.
03 / PROTOTYPE
Every version answered a question.
Early physical mockups made the intended workflow tangible before polished enclosures existed.
04 / RESEARCH
Hardware returned to evidence.
Imaging, software, microscopy, and validation remained one connected development loop.
Research became software.
Software became hardware.
Hardware became Clinivue.

Built in Dickinson. Designed for places far beyond it.
Technology does not have to start in a technology hub.
This is where Clinivue was built.PROTOTYPE EVOLUTION
An idea became hardware.
The earliest work happened across kitchen tables, bedroom desks, science-fair boards, and improvised prototype setups.

THE NETWORK
One person taking an idea seriously can change its trajectory.
A chance conversation at a hair salon became one connection, then several more. Clinivue’s network grew because people chose to open doors.
Build anyway.
“In North Dakota, it is so quiet that your dreams become so loud you can’t walk away.”
Clinivue was not built despite North Dakota. It was built there—with community support, a rural perspective, and ambition shaped outside a major technology hub.
