We'll have nanobots in our bodies to cure diseases and medical tricorders. Aging will be seen as a disease and we will become immortal. This is just a prediction though not fact.

I read somewhere last year that Bezos and other multi-zillionaires are heavily investing in life extension research. The problem with this is if immortality is ever reached, it will be for the select few (the elite) and whoever they deem to be worthy to keep around. Their nanobots should be able to treat mental disorders, because the way the world is, being immortal would lead to insanity eventually.
