This flow demonstrates the following use case:
The USER has fallen and cannot reach the telephone to call for help.
- The USER needs help and say « Ok Google, help! » or
- The USER needs help and press the help button.
- The GH speaker replies « Help is activated, wait for confirmation ».
- The HELPER(S) receives the help request (Pushbullet Notif). One HELPER replies to the USER e.g. « John will arrive in 5 minutes ». This message is read out by the GH speaker to the USER.
The HELPER(S) can push a message to be spoken at any time, e.g. « I’m a little bit dealyed, will be with you in 2 minutes. » All this messages will be to the USER.
