There are 0 standards for global sharing of all possible personal data. That I know of.
" this doesn't exist yet"
We have a national health database in Finland called "OmaKanta" (which translates to MyDatabase or something like that). It's not perfect but at least I can trust it with most of my health records, and it's accessible to all doctors working in both public and private sector.

I wonder if the Solid protocol might be helpful here? [0] I must confess I haven't toyed with it so far, but I am looking for an excuse to try it out.

Looks cool, but is more abstract/low-level than what I mean. Could maybe be used as a foundation for it though.
Many healthcare provider organizations have standard HL7 FHIR APIs that patients can use to download their own chart records. There are a variety of apps that you can use to call those APIs.

Im talking about a standard GLOBAL way of sharing that exact same data AND all other personal data.
Nor a secretary nor a doctor nor anybody should have to hand-type data that already exists digitally.
I'm so mind-blown that this doesn't exist yet that I feel maybe I should try and build it. I have tried building the next-best thing: OCR based form filling, but hard to get far as a solo FOSS'er.
