RALEIGH<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Three years after ex-Epic Games CEO\u00a0Michael Capps<\/a>\u00a0first launched\u00a0Diveplane<\/a>, a company aimed at \u201ckeeping the humanity\u201d in artificial intelligence (AI), it\u2019s notched a series of big wins.<\/p>\n

In just the last year, the Raleigh-based startup landed partnerships with healthcare giants like Duke Health, and the UK\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust and BREATHE, a health data research hub.<\/p>\n

It also closed on $3 million in new funding, bringing its total raised to around $10 million to date. It\u2019s even attracted star-studded investors, including US women\u2019s soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Mia Hamm.<\/p>\n
