Abstract: Our goal is to integrate gamification into real-world systems engineering practice to enhance the effectiveness and engagement of systems engineers working in team environments. A central challenge in this context is that directly overlaying explicit gamification elements—such as points, badges, or leaderboards—onto professional workflows is often impractical and may disrupt established engineering processes. Therefore, gamification strategies must be grounded in data that can already be collected from the existing engineering environment. These strategies should provide actionable behavior cues that align with both individual performance metrics and broader team objectives, ensuring consistency with established engineering goals. In this approach, the “game” is not artificially created but inherently exists within the systems engineering process itself. The role of gamification researchers is to make this implicit game visible—by clarifying the process, highlighting cause-effect relationships, and presenting progress in a form that is intuitive and motivating for all stakeholders. This requires accurately modeling the complexity of modern systems engineering, monitoring activities in real time, and translating data into clear, causal performance feedback. By embedding gamification into the way results are visualized and understood, we aim to drive positive behavioral change. This paper details our methodology, reports current findings, and outlines future research directions.

Abstract: In the context of globalization, the internationalization of medical research has become a trend. This study employs CiteSpace software to conduct a visual analysis of Chinese and English literature related to the internationalization of medicine from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Web of Science databases(WoS), revealing the dynamics and differences of research both domestically and internationally. The results indicate that domestic research began earlier than international efforts, with a significant increase in the volume of literature, mainly focusing on the internationalization pathways of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), talent cultivation, and innovation in educational models. High-frequency keywords include "Traditional Chinese Medicine", "medical education," and "Belt and Road Initiative." In contrast, international research focuses on clinical collaboration for global diseases and public health policies, with hot topics centered on “clinical trials”,“experience”and“competence.”Spatial distribution analysis indicates that domestic institutions exhibit loose collaboration with distinct regional characteristics, while international cooperation is primarily led by Europe and the United States, with low participation from China. Emergent word analysis reveals that domestic hot topics include "acupuncture" and "talent cultivation," while international research emphasizes “competence”and“economic growth.” The study highlights the need to strengthen the construction of multinational, multicenter clinical collaboration networks, promote the alignment of TCM standards with international standards, and facilitate the transformation of medical internationalization from cultural export to scientific paradigm innovation through the establishment of a compound talent pipeline and a data-sharing mechanism.
