One example of gamification in a non-financial realm is in the workplace. Progressive companies such as Google have incorporated games into menial tasks such as entering travel vouchers that people often fill out with errors, costing the company money. Not only do employees earn rewards for correctly filing travel vouchers, but they also can earn back money by spending less on their trip. The gamified travel voucher program creates a competition to spend less, earn rewards, and save Google money in the long run.

Winkel and co-investigators created a platform that married many of the classic elements of gaming, such as health/experience points and levels, with image interpretation skills central to radiology. For example, in the first step of a level, a user is offered a tutorial on how to identify pneumothorax and then is tasked with determining whether or not the abnormality is present on a chest radiograph. Users gain 100 experience points for each correct answer and lose 20 for an incorrect guess. After analysis, Winkel et al. found a “significant” improvement in user’s diagnostic confidence and a drop in error rate from 39% at the start of the game to 22% by the final test.
