3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the report is based on one or more of an informative analysis, discovery analysis, extrapolative analysis, or an adaptive analysis.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the report comprises a comparison of an N+1 stage score to an N stage score for each stage except a final stage.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the activation is based on one or more of a modality, data-enablement verses data-entry, or a location.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the engagement level is based on one or more of an in-solution versus out-of-solution, a frequency, a length, or a modality, wherein the in-solution corresponds to the digital therapeutic and the out-of-solution is external to the digital therapeutic.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the identifying the plurality of target users, conducting outreach, identifying an activation, and activating the activation is based on an output of a machine learning model.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the machine learning model is trained using training data that comprises one or more of stage inputs, known outcomes, and comparison results.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the comparison results are a ratio of an N+1 stage score to an N stage score for each stage except a final stage.

10. A system for deploying a digital therapeutic, the system comprising:

a data storage device storing a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model is trained using at least one of supervised training or unsupervised training; and

a processor operatively connected to the data storage device and configured to execute the machine learning model for:

determining a likelihood of use of a digital therapeutic for each of a plurality of users, wherein a machine learning model receives a plurality of user characteristics to output the likelihood of use of the digital therapeutic for each of the plurality of users, wherein the digital therapeutic for a given user from the plurality of users communicates with at least one application associated with the given user, each respective user device configured to received data from a data server and a user interface server, the user interface server configured to receive and process user inputs, each respective user device comprising a presentation layer selected from a web browser, application, or messaging interface,

wherein the digital therapeutic is configured to output a treatment based on:

initial data comprising current medication, adherence history to prescribed medications, carbohydrate intake, weight, and blood glucose levels;

determining a feedback potential for each of the plurality of users, the feedback potential corresponding to a likelihood of feedback of the digital therapeutic;
