Background: One Digital Health (ODH) aims to propose a framework that merges One Health’s and Digital Health’s specific features into an innovative landscape. FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles consider applications and computational agents (or in other terms, data, metadata, and infrastructures) as stakeholders with the capacity to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention. Objectives: This paper aims to elicit how the One Digital Health framework is compliant with FAIR principles and metrics, providing some thinking guide to investigate and define whether adapted metrics need to be figured out for an effective ODH Intervention setup. Methods: An integrative analysis of the literature was conducted in order to extract instances of the need - or of the eventual already existing deployment - of FAIR principles, for each of the three layers (keys, perspectives, dimensions) of the ODH framework. The scope was to assess the extent of scatteredness in pursuing the many facets of FAIRness, descending from the lack of a unifying and balanced framework. Results: A first attempt to interpret the different technological components existing in the different layers of the ODH framework, in the light of the FAIR principles, was conducted. Although the mature and working examples of workflows for data FAIRification processes currently retrievable in the literature provided a robust ground to work from, a non-suitable capacity to fully assess FAIR aspects for highly interconnected scenarios, which the ODH-based are, has emerged. Rooms for improvement are anyway possible to timely deal with all the underlying features of topics like the delivery of health care in a syndemic scenario, the digital transformation of human and animal health data, or the digital nature conservation through digital technology-based intervention. Conclusions: ODH pillars account for the availability (findability, accessibility) of human, animal, and environmental data allowing a unified understanding of complex interactions (interoperability) over time (reusability). A vision of integration between these two worlds, under the vest of ODH Interventions featuring FAIRness characteristics, towards the development of a systemic lookup of health and ecology in a digitalized way, is therefore auspicable.

Electronic Health (eHealth) has emerged as a pivotal driver of change in modern healthcare, reshaping the way medical information is collected, processed, and utilized. e-health includes digital solutions aimed at improving healthcare delivery, management, and accessibility. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is specifically focused on establishing connections between medical devices and sensors to gather and transmit health-related data. Its primary objective is to enhance healthcare by facilitating real-time monitoring, employing data analytics, and integrating intelligent medical devices. The IoMT and, more broadly, eHealth are yielding positive outcomes, prompting their expanding application into the animal domain. Recent technological advancements facilitate the integration of health platforms, fostering a connection between human and animal health for improved well-being. This article introduces a conceptual framework that synthesizes the main activities in the medial data acquisition-processing pipeline. The framework has been derived from an analysis of the state of the art in the field of the IoMT in human healthcare. Furthermore, the article explores the application of eHealth concepts in the animal domain. Addressing both human and animal health, the paper summarizes the outstanding issues that need to be addressed for the full integration of these technologies into daily life.
