         66 . A system, comprising:
 a kiosk including at least one sensor configured to detect one or more physiological parameters of a subject seeking a medical product or service;   a user interface coupled with the kiosk, the user interface configured to receive an input from the subject associated with a survey of one or more queries relating to a health condition of the subject seeking the medical product or service;   a locked dispensing box coupled with the kiosk, the locked dispensing box including one or more compartments containing one or more medical products or services; and   a computing device coupled with the kiosk, the computing device including circuitry configured to receive an input from the at least one sensor associated with the one or more physiological parameters of the subject and to receive the input from the user interface, the circuitry further configured to:
 compare input from the at least one sensor associated with the one or more physiological parameters of the subject and the input from the user interface to one or more verification datasets; 
 generate a verification value based on the comparison; and 
 provide access to the one or more medical products or services in the locked dispensing box when the verification value satisfies a verification threshold. 
   
     
     
         67 . The system of  claim 66 , further including:
 a subject tracking system configured to track a location of the subject relative to the kiosk, wherein the circuitry is configured to provide at least one of a map or directions to a nearest kiosk that includes the medical product or service when the verification value does not satisfy the verification threshold.   
     
     
         68 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is configured to provide access to one or more medical products or services in the locked dispensing box for a specific time period upon satisfaction of the verification threshold, wherein after expiration of the specific time period, the circuitry is configured to prevent access to the one or more medical products or services in the locked dispensing box. 
     
     
         69 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the at least one sensor includes a thermal sensor configured to sense a thermal characteristic of the subject. 
     
     
         70 . The system of  claim 69 , wherein the survey includes one or more queries relating to the thermal characteristic of the subject. 
     
     
         71 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is configured to assign data associated with one or more physiological parameters detected by the at least one sensor a higher confidence value as compared to data associated with the input from the user interface. 
     
     
         72 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the one or more verification datasets include a health status dataset. 
     
     
         73 . The system of  claim 66 , further including a scale coupled with the kiosk, the scale configured to sense a weight of the subject. 
     
     
         74 . The system of  claim 73 , wherein the kiosk is configured to dispense the medical product or service into the one or more compartments of the locked dispensing box dependent on the weight of the subject sensed by the scale. 
     
     
         75 . The system of  claim 66 , further including a visual, audio, or tactile indicator that the verification value has or has not satisfied the verification threshold. 
     
     
         76 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the user interface is configured to receive an input from the subject associated with at least one of identification input or insurance input. 
     
     
         77 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the one or more verification datasets includes one or more of an inventory dataset, an electronic medical record for the subject dataset, a verification code dataset, or a health status indicator dataset. 
     
     
         78 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the one or more physiological parameters of the subject include at least one electrical measurement, biochemical measurement, or thermal measurement. 
     
     
         79 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit at least one signal to alert a third party that a specific medical product or service has reached a pre-determined inventory level. 
     
     
         80 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit at least one signal to order inventory of a specific medical product or service that has reached a pre-determined inventory level. 
     
     
         81 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is configured to receive a modification request to the medical product or service via the user interface. 
     
     
         82 . The system of  claim 81 , wherein the circuitry is configured to compare the modification request to the medical product or service to a modification range pre-selected for approval by a healthcare worker. 
     
     
         83 . The system of  claim 82 , wherein the circuitry is configured to grant the modification request to the medical product or service if the modification request falls within the modification range pre-selected for approval by the healthcare worker, and wherein the circuitry is configured to deny the modification request if the modification request falls outside the modification range pre-selected for approval by the healthcare worker. 
     
     
         84 . The system of  claim 66 , wherein the circuitry is configured to generate an output indicative of a satisfaction or denial of the verification threshold. 
     
     
         85 . The system of  claim 84 , wherein the circuitry is configured to communicate the output indicative of the satisfaction or denial of the verification threshold with at least one of a healthcare worker, a pharmacy, or health insurance company.
