A term that began appearing in the early 2000s to describe practical, critical approaches to technology-enhanced practice that emphasize whether a proposed technological solution can realistically address the problem it is intended to solve. Technopragmatism typically emphasizes:

• Clear alignment between a defined problem and the proposed technological solution.
• Evidence of real-world effectiveness rather than theoretical or aspirational benefits.
• Attention to implementation conditions, including organizational capacity and user behavior.
• Awareness of costs, trade-offs, risks, and unintended consequences.
