Based on theories of gamification, a concept for the feedback function within the diagnostic software ESI[tronic] of the Robert Bosch GmbH is developed with user interviews and the analysis of feedback data. Through this, feedback loops should be generated to enable further development taking the user perspective into account. The results show that the target group of the diagnostic software can be intrinsically motivated and the aspect of mutual assistance as well as recognition and appreciation is particularly important. Therefore, the use of gamification concepts in complex diagnostic systems contributes to increasing user satisfaction and ultimately to influencing feedback behavior.}, language = {en} }
