Interest is growing in gamification of the different public services to enhance the development through engagement of the concerned stakeholders. A review of the gamification applied in healthcare services through inspiration labs is illustrated. The paper investigates how the different gamification constructs and techniques help in re-inventing the public healthcare services.The findings of the study are presented around the opportunities and learning that comes from gamifying the change initiatives. The paper shows how researchers and practitioners can gamify complex public services, as healthcare sectors, and create a change to different activities that would lead to a behavioural change of the targeted community. The study makes a recommendation to considers more in-depth empirical studies that enhance the integration of gamification in more public services.
