The improvement here is this:
a secure reader tablet-like device. It has encrypted hardware which can be temporarily permissioned to have access to encrypted data
This part is how it works today and it has been like this for years:
Data is accessed in chunks, therefore the owner of the data can see whether data is being accessed in the way a human might use it, or if it is being downloaded en masse. The organisation with data access devices gets audited on an annual basis to see where all their access devices are and to ensure none of them are being tampered with.
No blockchain is needed to achieve this.
