Uhmmm...just thinking out loud here.
How feasible do you think it would be to use Mastodon for this?
If you have a "Medical Node" as you put it (which I find apt btw), you could share it with your doctor(s) and provide access (maybe using Keybase? Auth0?) for them to either add "their own posts" with the analysis results, their findings, etc, or just to read the relevant data (e.g. for a dentist).
Again, just thinking out loud, but they way you put it sounded interesting :)
- ams6110 9y agoDoctors make notes by dictation, which is transcribed to patient charts by medical secretaries. So you'd need to authorize those people as well.

- HillaryBriss 9y agonice article. "It turns out there are strong economic incentives for doctors to keep patient information to themselves — and even stronger incentives for electronic medical records not to play nicely with each other." "While patients might want one hospital to exchange information with another hospital, those institutions have little incentive to do so. A shared medical record, after all, makes it easier to see a different doctor. A walled garden — where records only get traded within one hospital system — can encourage patients to stick with those providers."
