Telehealth is one sector that investors have been particularly bearish on this year. The Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF has fallen 33% since the start of 2022, which is notably worse than the S&P 500 's 24% decline over the same period.

There were many encouraging numbers from the study, suggesting that despite a return to normal in healthcare, telehealth adoption isn't likely going back to pre-pandemic levels.
