Although technology can enhance social connectedness, limited attention has been given to discrepancies between desired and actual technology use in daily life. This study examined loneliness, focusing on perceived technology-use gaps alongside health-related factors, including depressive symptoms, sleep quality, functional cognition, and sensorimotor abilities. Participants included 211 adults aged 65 to 87, who completed the de Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Daily Living Questionnaire, selected items from the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning-Enhanced, and the Daily Technology-Use Gap questionnaire. Spearman correlations and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted. Loneliness was significantly associated with all variables (r = \u22120.64 to \u22120.32, p &lt; 0.01\u20130.001). The SEM demonstrated good fit (comparative fit index = 0.986, root mean square error of approximation = 0.068). Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with loneliness, whereas technology-use gaps were identified as significant mediators in the proposed SEM, linking health-related factors and loneliness. These findings highlight a shift from focusing on technology access to understanding the quality and satisfaction of technology use in daily life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs16091473","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T17:20:28Z","timestamp":1787592028000},"page":"1473","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Better Together: Technology-Use Gaps and Loneliness in Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ortal","family":"Cohen Elimelech","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Laboratory of Complex Human Activity and Participation, Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Haifa, Haifa 3103301, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naor","family":"Demeter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, University of Haifa, Haifa 3103301, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8666-0389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Rosenblum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Laboratory of Complex Human Activity and Participation, Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Haifa, Haifa 3103301, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"212","DOI":"10.1080\/1360786031000101193","article-title":"Loneliness, health and depression in older males","volume":"7","author":"Alpass","year":"2003","journal-title":"Aging & Mental Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464817741369","article-title":"Can digital technology enhance social connectedness among older adults?
