FSU and Latitude Margaritaville to collaborate on wellness-focused tech for the home
The Florida State University College of Nursing has announced an innovative collaboration with Latitude Margaritaville Watersound to research technologies that can create a home-based ecosystem that empowers active adults to thrive, stay vibrant, and enjoy life to the fullest.
“Our college has been exploring ways to collaborate with Latitude to advance home-based wellness technology,” said Jing Wang, dean of the College of Nursing. “Latitude Margaritaville has invaluable insights into what their residents seek to lead vibrant, fulfilling lives. This partnership will help us develop a “Smart Health Home” connected system that truly enhances the quality of life.”
Latitude Margaritaville Watersound, a joint venture of Minto Communities USA, Margaritaville Holdings, and The St. Joe Company, is a vibrant 55-and-better active living community in Florida’s picturesque panhandle near Panama City Beach and the scenic 30A corridor.
“Partnering with leading research institutions like FSU benefits our entire region,” said Jorge Gonzalez, president and CEO of The St. Joe Company. “We’re excited to collaborate with Florida State University on this initiative, which has the potential to revolutionize how people thrive in communities like Latitude.”
“Our residents embrace life enthusiastically, stay active, and are deeply connected to their community,” said Len Capozzo, vice president of community planning at Minto Communities. “Collaborating with Florida State University to develop a system that enhances this vibrant lifestyle is a perfect fit for our vision.”
This initiative will integrate cutting-edge technologies to create a supportive home environment that promotes vitality, independence, and peace of mind. Using a combination of sensors, automation, and connected devices, the ecosystem will offer personalized support for monitoring and maintaining good health, pursuing passions, and enjoying life to the fullest.
