The One Rhythm Framework is a conceptual, systems-level model for integrating human health and wellbeing across physical, emotional, behavioural, neurodivergent, and environmental domains within digitally mediated contexts. This work addresses challenges of variability, longitudinal patterning, and interpretive risk in digital health and wellbeing systems, particularly where information is aggregated across domains and interpreted over time. The framework proposes a safety-first, meaning-preserving approach to system design, prioritising regulation over optimisation and embedding ethical principles including dynamic consent, contextual integrity, and failure-aware design. Developed at the intersection of health sciences, socio-technical systems, and digital health ethics, the framework contributes to emerging approaches in integrated care, preventative health, and responsible system design, demonstrating how rhythm-based principles may be operationalised in practice.
