Intelligent grouping of peers in motivational programs

A method for facilitating social ranking and grouping via received signals conveying health-related information, the method being implemented by a computer system including one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

• receiving, with the one or more processors, signals conveying health-related information associated with a user;
• determining, with the one or more processors, health-related information associated with the user based on the received signals;
• determining, with the one or more processors, one or more motivational criteria for the user;
• aggregating, with the one or more processors, the user and other users into one or more groups;
• determining, with the one or more processors, one or more social rankings of the user within the one or more groups based on the health-related information;
• selecting, with the one or more processors, a first peer group for the user from the one or more groups based on the one or more social rankings of the user and the one or more motivational criteria for the user;
• and
• effectuating, with the one or more processors, presentation of the user's social ranking within the first peer group,
• wherein the system further comprises a user device, the user device including one or more sensors configured to generate signals conveying the health-related information associated with the user, wherein the method further comprises:
• receiving, with the user device, health-related information associated with the other users of the first peer group over a network in communication with the one or more processors,
• and wherein, when the user device is offline, the method further comprises:
• determining, with the user device, an auxiliary social ranking of the user within the first peer group based on the health-related information associated with the user and the health-related information associated with the other users of the first peer group;
• determining, with the user device, additional health-related information associated with the user based on further signals generated by the one or more sensors;
• updating, with the user device, the auxiliary social ranking of the user based on the additional health-related information such that the user's updated auxiliary social ranking is different than the user's social ranking within the first peer group at a given time;
• and
• effectuating, with the user device, presentation of the user's updated auxiliary social ranking at the user device.

• further comprising instructions for, when the user device is offline:
• determining an auxiliary social ranking of the user within the first peer group based on the health-related information associated with the user and the health-related information associated with the other users of the first peer group;
• determining, based on further signals generated by one or more sensors, additional health-related information associated with the user;
• updating the auxiliary social ranking of the user based on the additional health-related information such that the user's updated auxiliary social ranking is different than the user's social ranking within the first peer group at a given time;
• and
• effectuating presentation of the user's updated auxiliary social ranking at the user device.
