QR Codes
Million Hearts™ is a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over five years. A QR code, or Quick Response code, is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that can provide access to a website, document, or other types of information. To interact with a QR code, scan the barcode with the camera on your mobile device. You will need a QR reader or "scanner application" available—often for free—through a mobile application store, like the Apple Store or the Android Market.
