Need help with coupled inductor

Hi, I'm new to electronics but have some prior experience with robotics. I'm currently working on a project that involves creating a TENS unit and a shock generator, all within the compact form factor of a wristwatch.

I've selected the following components for the design:

1. LPR6235-752SMR – Coupled Inductor


2. 470µF 450V Ceramic Capacitor


3. UF4007 – Diode


4. SL5N50D, AO3434A, or IRLR7843 – MOSFET options



I'll be using the XIAO ESP32-S3, which provides a PWM signal with a voltage range of 0–3.3V.

However, I'm facing challenges in finalizing the most efficient and safe circuit to achieve a variable output of 0 to 300V. I've attached an example circuit from the coupled inductor's datasheet.

Could someone also help me theoretically calculate the output voltage and component behavior before I test it physically?

(1) What power source are you using? If battery, which specific battery?

(2) how long is a TENS session (what's the pattern of a TENS session? E.g, 5 seconds of shocks and sleep for 10 seconds. Or, 10 minutes continuous, then off for 50 minutes, ....?

(3) How long do you want the battery to last?

Lipo battery 3.7v 450mah 1C

I will be using it mainly for alarm and also some other tens functionality for 5 sec
(3) How long do you want the battery to last?
May be a day so it will also power my watch(esp32s3 xiao , oled , buzzer and a small vibration motor)
 
If you look at one of my patents on image 3 ... the oscillator section 406, uses a "pump and dump" in combination with an SCR to dump the capacitor charge into the coil .... The transformer was a 1:10 ratio transformer we had specially made at the time. The "trick" when I was developing this circuit was not a direct drive from the power source into the coil, but to dump a charged capacitor into the coil instead.

Patent Reference:

Can you also please suggest a simple circuit for my project
