Pandemic-related LSM restrictions impacted perceived AFEs and loneliness negatively, but technology played a moderating role. The findings demonstrate that technology could be considered as a ninth domain in the WHO's assessment of AFEs for older adults and that there is a need for its explicit acknowledgment.
