summary
Timeline traces from data.gov: thousands of datasets (2006) through 2010 rollouts like MyGov and UIDAI, GDPR (2015), to 2020 Singapore Health Data Hub and Estonia blockchain for voting and identity. Governments deploy REST APIs, HL7/FHIR standards, OAuth-style authentication and consent workflows, and AI for personalization and chat assistance. Case work includes a medicines API in Australia, My Health Record sharing with consented real‑time updates, and Singapore’s NHR pulling medication histories with full audit trails. Policies cited: GDPR, HIPAA, PDPA and national privacy principles.
