Methods: Between April 19, 2021, and August 11, 2021, a total of 662 people from 28 institutions providing social services for people experiencing homelessness in Budapest, Hungary, were surveyed about their access to digital tools and internet use patterns. For selected questions, the responses of a representative sample of the Hungarian population were used for comparison as the reference group. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables affecting internet use for health-related reasons. Results: The results demonstrated a considerable level of internet use in the homeless population; 52.9{\%} (350/662) of the respondents used the internet frequently compared with 81.3{\%} (1220/1500) of the respondents in the reference group. Among the homeless group, 69.6{\%} (461/662) of the respondents reported mobile phone ownership, and 39.9{\%} (264/662) of the respondents added that it had a smartphone function. Moreover, 11.2{\%} (70/662) of the respondents had already used a health mobile app, and 34.6{\%} (229/662) of the respondents had used the internet for medical purposes. On the basis of these characteristics, we were able to identify a broadly defined, digitally engaged group among people experiencing homelessness (129/662, 19.5{\%}). This subpopulation was inclined to benefit from digitalization related to their personal health. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that internet use for health reasons was more significant for younger respondents, women, those with higher levels of education, and those with no chronic conditions. Conclusions: Although compared with the general population, health-related internet use statistics are lower, our results show that the idea of involving homeless populations in the digital health ecosystem is viable, especially if barriers to access are systematically reduced. The results show that digital health services have great promise as another tool in the hands of community shelters for keeping homeless populations well ingrained in the social infrastructure as well as for disease prevention purposes.
