Abstract

The introduction of the One Health (OH) concept has represented a decisive moment. This approach has been at first applied to the animal context for being expanded later on toward a holistic approach to sustainable development in which the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment becomes inextricably linked and requires a global approach and effort.

This approach requires a collaborative effort of multiple disciplines to contribute toward health for people, animals, and the environment. Advances in digital technology introduce One Digital Health (ODH) concept which analyzes the digital health ecosystem components and how technologies can support healthcare and wellbeing. ODH process involves integrating human and veterinary medical data into real-time information systems to support public health in facing emerging challenges due to the growing overlap between human and animal habitats. With OH and ODH the concept of human health is integrated with wellbeing and sustainability.
