We're making an app which collects a special type of data not supported by the list in the Health app. Is there a way to create a new category for this?

Health CSV Importer is the easiest, fastest, and most reliable way to import your CSV data into Apple Health. The import logic has been battle-tested with millions of data points and will support almost any CSV you throw at it.
HealthKit is the developer framework behind it that allows apps to work with Apple Health and each other. If you're confused about how the Apple Health app works, what type of information you need to get the most out of it, and which apps are compatible, keep reading.
To add this entitlement to your app, first enable the HealthKit capability in Xcode, and then check any values that you want to add to the HealthKit Capabilities Entitlement. Only add values for data types that your app needs to access. App Review may reject apps that don't use the data appropriately.
No, there isn't at this time. From the HealthKit Framework Reference:
The HealthKit framework is designed to share data between apps in a meaningful way. To that end, the framework constrains the types of data and units to a predefined list. These limits ensure that other apps understand both what the data means and how it can be used. As a result, developers cannot create custom data types or units. Instead, HealthKit attempts to provide a reasonably complete list of data types and units.
If I were you, I would file a Radar (http://bugreport.apple.com) detailing the type of health data you'd like to see added.
