Digital health incubator Rock Health is hosting the 2012 Health Innovation Summit this week in San Francisco. In a series of posts, I’ll be profiling some of the interesting new health companies represented at the summit. You can browse all of the startups I liked from the Rock Health summit here.

A new healthcare social network called Crohnology aims to connect people with Crohn’s disease and Colitis. Currently in beta testing, Crohnology was cofounded by Will Cole and Sean Ahrens, who was diagnosed with the chronic inflammatory bowel disease Crohn’s at age 12.

The mobile platform enables people to track how they are feeling with different treatment methods they try, then share those trends with others in the Crohnology network.

Eventually, the developers hope to include networks for other autoimmune and mental diseases in the platform.
