About InsightLab
InsightLab is a product studio. Not a platform, not a single-product company, not a consultancy. A small, focused lab that builds one product at a time, each solving a specific gap between raw data and human understanding.
The Story
I'm Gert Schepens — Product Owner, Agile coach, and Linux engineer based in Lede, Belgium. I run DGTL bv and build products that solve problems I've experienced firsthand.
InsightLab started in May 2026 when I got my blood test results back. The PDF sat on my desktop for three days before I opened it — not because I was scared of the results, but because I knew understanding them meant committing to a half-hour of detective work.
That gap between "here's your data" and "here's what it means" became Blood, the first product under the InsightLab umbrella. And InsightLab became the philosophical home for Blood and whatever comes next.
The Philosophy
Every InsightLab product is built on three non-negotiable principles:
Privacy by Architecture
Health data is special category data under GDPR Article 9. That means privacy can't be a policy — it has to be enforced by the architecture itself. Your data stays on your device unless it absolutely must be processed, and when it is, it's done in Europe under strict compliance.
EU Data Residency
European users deserve European infrastructure. All InsightLab products hosted in Paris, France, with AI providers covered by EU data processing agreements. No transatlantic data trips.
AI as Translator
AI explains context, not prescriptions. It amplifies human judgment, doesn't replace it. Every InsightLab tool is educational, not diagnostic.
