CreateHealth.io has just launched its digital crowdsourcing platform and social network where healthcare consumers rally to create and share solutions. The startup’s tools allow healthcare providers to test and validate healthcare services through customer engagement.

CreateHealth’s first sponsored project saw AbbVie (a global pharmaceutical company) run an open and branded digital forum where patients discussed quality of life living with Parkinson’s disease. This was the first time a pharmaceutical company had used social to create an open, branded micro community of patient experts.
