1. A temperature monitoring system configured to be secured to a user for determining a core body temperature, the temperature monitoring system comprising:
a first temperature sensor configured to be positioned at a first location of the user's skin;
a second temperature sensor associated with the first temperature sensor;
a first material and a second material positioned between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, the first material having a first thermal conductivity and the second material having a second thermal conductivity different than the first thermal conductivity;
a third temperature sensor configured to be positioned at a second location of the user's skin; and
a third material positioned between the third temperature sensor and a fourth temperature sensor,
wherein measurements from the first, second, third, and fourth temperature sensors are used to determine the core body temperature estimate of the user.
