A1 Alhrahsheh, Rakan A2 Ivanova, Ganka Yordanova AB Digital information and communication technology usage has increased dramatically over the last decade across different fields of personal and professional life. This study was conducted with the aim to investigate how digital access affects health outcomes, particularly in UAE, and gathered data from 300 students at Al Ain University's Abu Dhabi campus, UAE. This study explores the connection between digital education, social media access, and health service outreach and usage. Many people, especially younger individuals, use more than a single smart device. This study investigated whether digital access directly correlated with better healthcare service and improved individual's health by examining the data gathered to draw predictabilities and possibilities to be considered in the future. The findings of this study indicated significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the dependent variable (digital access to health) and independent variables (work; p = 0.165) and (income; p = 0.000). Surprisingly, this study also showed that for the participants, there were no significant differences between education levels and digital access to health (p = 0.0724).
