What does the 「っち」　in ＠「見守りっち」 translate into?
From googling, "見守りっち" is the name of a product which monitors temperature for
the purpose of warning if there is a danger of heatstroke.

So in this case I think we have:

見守り - "masu-stem" used as a noun.

っち - suffix sometimes used on names to form a nickname (あだ名{な})

There is a very famous product which uses a similar name. If you were a kid at
the right time, you may have had one - commonly romanised as Tamagotchi
(たまごっち). Comparing the look of the two products, I think this may be a direct
reference.
