Inspiration

MoriPal began with a personal motivation. With my parents working in healthcare and my own background in Information Technology, I started thinking about how technology could help healthcare businesses make better financial decisions.

Running a healthcare business involves more than providing quality care. Owners must manage expenses, maintain financial reserves, evaluate investments, and plan for growth. I wanted to create something that could make these decisions easier to understand.

That inspired one question: What if healthcare business owners had a smarter way to understand their finances and evaluate their next move?

That question became MoriPal.

What it does

MoriPal — Smarter Capital. Better Healthcare Businesses. is an AI-powered financial decision-support platform designed for healthcare business owners, founders, CEOs, and finance managers.

Its key features include:

  • Financial Dashboard: Brings revenue, expenses, cash flow, and available capital into one view.
  • Expense Management: Uses AG Grid for interactive, searchable, and filterable expense records.
  • AI Advisor: Uses OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model to provide contextual business-finance insights.
  • Capital Decisions: Helps users compare investment scenarios using estimated returns and payback periods.
  • Transaction Management: Organizes payment records and supports CSV export.
  • PayPal Sandbox: Supports supplier invoice payments through buyer approval, payment capture verification, and transaction status updates.

The platform uses NovaCare Clinics, a fictional healthcare business with illustrative financial data, to demonstrate its workflows.

How I built it

I developed MoriPal as an interactive web application using React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and TanStack Start.

I integrated AG Grid for interactive expense management and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra for the AI Advisor, which uses available financial context to help users explore business-finance questions.

I also integrated the PayPal Developer Platform Sandbox into the supplier-payment workflow. Users can initiate eligible payments, approve them through PayPal, and return to MoriPal, where successful captures are verified before transactions are marked as paid. I implemented amount and currency validation and safeguards against duplicate payment attempts.

My focus was to bring these capabilities together into one platform built around the financial needs of healthcare businesses.

Challenges I ran into

One of my biggest challenges was turning a broad problem into a focused product. I wanted MoriPal to offer more than a dashboard or a generic AI chatbot.

Bringing interactive data tables, AI-assisted guidance, investment scenarios, and payment workflows together also required careful attention to usability and reliability.

I learned that a trustworthy financial product needs understandable calculations, verified payment outcomes, and a clear distinction between illustrative and real business data.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud to have developed a product around a meaningful business problem and brought its core features together in one application.

Some of my key accomplishments include:

  • Building a unified financial dashboard.
  • Incorporating AG Grid for interactive expense management.
  • Developing an AI-powered financial Advisor.
  • Creating investment scenarios with estimated returns and payback periods.
  • Successfully integrating and testing PayPal Sandbox payments with capture verification.

Most importantly, I turned an idea inspired by personal experience into an interactive product that connects my Information Technology education with a practical challenge in healthcare.

What I learned

MoriPal taught me to think beyond technical features and focus on the problems a product actually solves.

I gained experience bringing different technologies together, developing AI-assisted functionality, and testing payment workflows. I also learned the importance of transparency, data reliability, and responsible use of AI in financial applications.

What's next for MoriPal

I want to strengthen MoriPal's core workflows, improve the AI Advisor, and explore secure connections to real business financial data.

Future possibilities include advanced financial forecasting, configurable alerts, and insights tailored to different healthcare businesses.

My long-term goal is to help healthcare business leaders understand their financial position, evaluate opportunities, and plan for sustainable growth.
