Abstract
One Health is an important initiative to view the world in a more integrative sense of our health and environment. Digital Health provides essential support to all of us as healthcare professionals and customers. One Digital Health (ODH) combines both One Health and Digital Health to provide a technologically integrative view. ODH gives an essential place to the environment and ecosystems. Thus, health technologies and digital health must be "green" and eco-friendly as much as possible. We suggest in this position paper examples of developing and implementing ODH-related concepts, systems, and products with a respectful consideration of the environment. For humans and animals, developing cutting-edge technologies to improve wellness and healthcare is critical. Nevertheless, we can learn from One Health that digitalization and so One Digital Health must be built to implement green, eco-friendly, and responsible thinking.
