Population of the study was comprised of Algerian doctors and nurses. Five hundred and twenty two (522) respondents were selected as sample by using available sampling technique. For the collection of data a self-made questionnaire was developed and used for the collection of data. The collected data were analysed by using PLS-Smart program. Based on analysis, the researcher concluded that adoption of digital health can have a positive impact on public health behavioural changes and COVID-19 protection.
