Attention is focused on the importance of forming a culture of communication between a modern person with various types of digital devices and the expediency of starting this work from childhood. The difficulties existing in this area are noted.Among students, almost half of the respondents do not follow the basic recommendations for working with digital devices that are important for health prevention. The presence of students' attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle, physical activity, and an increase in self-esteem of health has a positive effect on the proportion of people using recommendations for communicating with digital devices. The role of the family and teachers as subjects of the formation of a hygienic culture of their use is currently significant, but insufficient. Improving the culture of youth communication with digital devices can help improve health indicators.
