Abstract: The article used the case study analysis, presenting the results of research from the perspective of two regions in Poland: Lubelskie Region and Lower Silesia Region. The research is connected to four areas: using of digital technology, using of eHealth, usefulness and effectiveness of e-Health applications – users' opinions, not using e-Health application (barriers). The questionnaires were conducted on a group of seniors. On the one hand, the data obtained from the questionnaires (from users) gave a unique overview of the strengths and weaknesses of popular applications and allowed to evaluate usefulness and effectiveness of selected applications. On the other hand, the data obtained (from non-users) highlighted the main barriers: technological, ethical, social, or connected to security.
