It’s the year of Intellus in Chicago (USA)! We enjoyed meeting our clients and colleagues in our home town. We were closely involved with helping our clients to present innovative work on patient preferences, and contributed the Clear Health Communication Task Force’s work on applying health literacy principle to improving communication with diverse patient populations, such as patient with limited English proficiency.
After a prolonged period of virtual interactions, Bazis Americas made a significant return to face-to-face meetings by attending the first post-pandemic conference in Philadelphia (USA).
In a significant stride towards patient-centered healthcare, our team contributed to developing and implementing a decision aid tool aimed at enhancing treatment decision-making for patients with a rare autoimmune hematological disorder.
Work in the rare disease space continued. The Bazis Americas team presented and brought together parents of children diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy for the Intellus Worldwide Virtual Summit in April. Nadia Bodkin from Rare360, joined our round table and discussed with us the role of advocacy groups in patient-pharma communication. The Bazis Americas team continued their journey to help rare disease patients by volunteering their research skills for the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Families Advocacy Group.
The Intellus Clear Health Communication Task Force, which Tatiana Barakshina is part of, was recognized with the Intellus Impact Award for Advocacy.
The year of big adjustment, when we embraced hybrid work and perfected online video interviewing skills, expanding the reach to audiences and geographies that traditionally were strictly offline. Notable industry events with Bazis Americas in-person presence included the Sawtooth Software annual conference in San Antonio, Texas (USA). Anna Shevalova formed long-standing ties with Duchenne muscular dystrophy caregiver and patient communities. This project initially started as a European Society for Opinion and Market Research (ESOMAR) Research Got Talent entry and grew into a work-stream aiming to bring awareness and support for parents caring for children with this rare disease.
While the schedule for travel changed because of COVID-19, our team stayed busy with virtual events, including The Quirk’s Virtual Event and Intellus Worldwide. Bazis Americas Partner Tatiana Barakshina, alongside other members of the Intellus Worldwide Health Literacy Initiative, received the 19th Annual Institute for Healthcare Advancement Health Literacy Award in the research category.
2019 was an intense year of travel and engagements for the Bazis Americas team, starting in January at a Sawtooth training session in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA). In July, the Bazis Americas team spent an exhilarating few days in Philadelphia (USA) exhibiting at the Intellus Worldwide Summit. Meanwhile in Europe, Bazis Americas participated in European Pharmaceutical Market Research Association (EphMRA) 2019 in Warsaw (Poland).
We started off with Intellus in Philadelphia (USA) and EphMRA in Basel (Switzerland). Our International Supplier Group Lead met research partners in Mexico, visited Lyon and Paris (France) to meet with research agencies, and attended TRA’s Service Design workshop in Copenhagen (Denmark).
First appearance of Bazis Americas at the PBIRG conference in Chicago (USA), presented well-received research on self health-monitoring (by Anna Shulgina). As a first-time attendee of the ESOMAR Congress in Berlin (Germany), Anna Shevalova is impressed and inspired by new business connections and learnings.

Bazis researchers participate and present at ESOMAR Congress in Dublin (Ireland), TRA Annual Meeting in Istanbul (Turkey), AMA Summer Educators conference in Chicago (USA), and ACR Conference in New Orleans (USA).
Bazis sponsored an ESOMAR B2B Forum in Atlanta (USA), connecting with over 70 researchers focused on the B2B sector from more than 10 countries. Our team won a $10,000 research grant from The Research Alliance to pursue important research on “healthy appearance versus healthy behaviors” in Russia, China and Turkey.
Tatiana Barakshina chaired the ESOMAR CEE Research Forum in Prague (Czech Republic). Bazis joined the Research & Results show in Munich (Germany), exhibiting the research capabilities as the B2B research expert.
