Where I live we have a centralized system run by government that all healthcare providers are required to integrate with. You can access & manage all your data & healthcare history from a single location, for free. I know this wouldn't fly in the US, but it is a very convenient system for people.

I guess it's somewhere in the EU?

  OmaKanta-system in Finland is an example of such.

    Also healthcare providers must ask for consent if they want to access your OmaKanta.

    OmaKanta is nice but these days it costs tens of thousands of euros for app developer to be compatible due to the high certification costs.

We are working towards that right now in the US at more of the state/regional level. In fact, NYS is providing funding for all of Western New York to move to an integrated EMR, which is looking like it will be Epic. My current director will actually be one of the project leads.
