Cluster 1 — 28 Nodes
Health Insights

Core knowledge gateway connecting all strategic domains. AHA’s health intelligence infrastructure — the bridge between research output and public understanding. Keywords: cardiovascular research, health data, clinical insights, evidence-based.

Cluster 2 — 18 Nodes
AI & Digital Medicine

Emerging technology cluster. AI-powered diagnostics, telehealth integration, and digital health tools. Structurally isolated from Behavior Change — a key strategic disconnect. Keywords: artificial intelligence, digital health, telehealth, wearables.

No direct connection to Behavior Change. AI-driven health tools lack behavioral science integration.
Structural Gap Analysis
Cluster 3 — 16 Nodes
Research Funding

Grant allocation, NIH partnerships, and research investment strategy. Critical pipeline for maintaining scientific credibility and institutional authority. Keywords: NIH grants, research investment, clinical trials, scientific credibility.

Cluster 4 — 12 Nodes
Fundraising Impact

Donor engagement and fundraising effectiveness. Low betweenness indicates this cluster operates in relative isolation from the broader strategic network. Keywords: donor engagement, campaign ROI, philanthropic partnerships, annual giving.

Cluster 5 — 10 Nodes
Health Equity & Education

DEI initiatives, community health education, and health literacy programs. Connected to Health Insights but weakly linked to AI Medicine — an opportunity gap. Keywords: health equity, community education, health literacy, disparities.

Cluster 6 — 6 Nodes
Maternal Health

Emerging priority area. Maternal cardiovascular health, pregnancy-related complications, and gender-specific research. Small but strategically important cluster. Keywords: maternal health, pregnancy, women’s cardiovascular, prenatal care.

Cluster 7 — 5 Nodes • Gap Alert
Behavior Change

Behavioral science and lifestyle modification. CRITICALLY disconnected from AI & Digital Medicine cluster — this is the primary structural gap in AHA’s strategy. Keywords: lifestyle modification, habit formation, patient engagement, motivation.

AI-driven health tools lack behavioral science integration. This structural gap means digital medicine innovations cannot inform lifestyle modification strategies — the single largest disconnect in AHA’s knowledge graph.
